Yeah, me, too! If I did have W98 on my box, I'm sure I would see a real drag in
performance. I have not built a new kernel yet due to time constraints, and the
fact that L-M 6.1 has performed very nicely for me out of the box. I'm sure that
when I do trim down the stock kernel that I could free up some memory. On that
note, I started recompiling the kernel a couple of times, and each time it failed
(I forget why) after choosing to save the new kernel, so in /usr/src there are
"linux-2.2.13" and "linux-2.2.13.old" folders, and the 2 files generated by make
menuconfig (one is .old)
So should I delete these extra files and start again from the beginning?
Thanks!
