John,

Can't say anything about opera but there are a number of preferences 
settings for firefox (and I presume similar for mozilla) at:


   http://www.tweakfactor.com/articles/tweaks/firefoxtweak/4.html

and

   http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum21/8007.htm

Should you consider going the firefox route (I'd recommend it) there's 
an extension called Fasterfox I found recently and I get very fast 
responses.


Cheers,

Colin

Greetings,
I have just undertaken a big upgrade of my PC: new motherboard, 
more RAM, and decided to upgrade the operating system from RedHat 7.3 
to Fedora Core 4. Everything seems to have worked except for one 
oddity. Both Mozilla and Opera  load pages very erratically, sometimes 
quickly, but mostly very slowly, slowly compared with the Iyonix I 
have on the same network. Both computers are connected by ethernet 
cables to a D-Link router ultimately to my account on plus.net. In 
case the problem with Opera was an inappropriate version I downloaded 
and installed the version for Fedora 4 today. That made no difference. 
Has anybody any bright ideas about what could be going wrong?


Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

John O.

When I sent this, it didn't have all the headers preceeding my 'excuse the 
headers' comment, and it certainly had a subject line.

Looks like Mailman has shoved its head firmly up it's arse again.

Sorry folks.

I'm too far away to help you personally but I suggest you surf to 
www.uselinux.co.uk There you will be able to purchase a 4 CD set of 
MandrakeLinux 10.1 for £4 plus £1.10 postage. I always use them and they 
offer excellent service

I have a copy of Mandrake on DVD that came on the front of a magazine that
you're welcome to have. Or I could give you a copy of Ubuntu.

This is normally due to trying to send html instead of real e-mail.  Depends 
on what mail client you use, but there should be a setting somewhere to use 
plain text (usually the default) rather than html. In Kmail 1.4.3  it is in 
'Configure Kmail' | Security.
