What I'd like to add, is: of course, do not run KDE or Gnome while compiling on a P233. Even better, do not start X at all. Run Scribus in a window manager, I use Blackbox. And close other programs, notably Mozilla. But most of all, I would not install SuSE 8.1 on a P233, but stick to 7.3 at most. Under these conditions, the speed should be at an acceptable level.
S.H.
