I think that is a DNS lookup issue. I altered the link from /bin/sh to point to /bin/dash instead of /bin/bash but I'm not sure if I got a big improvement. It seems reasonably fast though. :-) i have been using zsh recently and it has worked pretty well so far. No, the shell *you* use is determined by the line in /etc/passwd. What I meant was the shell used to execute the initscripts. What does: # ls -al /bin/sh produce? If it comes back as pointing to /bin/bash then try pointing /bin/sh to /bin/dash and see if there is any improvement. use xfce4 instead of gnome or kde. it help a lot. my laptop is old via c3 processor. run more happy with xfce. using gnome will take some time to open window especially nautilus use so much resource.

Re: install debian usbdisk through ide cable
I have seen IDE to USB adapters but not the reverse so I'm not sure how debian would handle it. I imagine a USB to IDE adapter would not be cheap as it would have to have some sort of logic to convert between the two protocols. i think what i really mean is IDE to USB adapter :) .. i use the motherboard IDE, to attach the USB drive via IDE-to-USB (whatever u called it). I still doubt that this would work i want to try it for experiment and do not really planning to do any serious work or development inside the system. I am in doubt, the system can boot or not ...

i have some clue on this problem. i think the installer script problem. after fail to use debian package. i tried to install using tar ball files (source code) downloaded from postgresql.org website. when i compile the file i get the error configure: error: readline library not found If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.

IceWeasel crash my debian laptop
i am using my laptop with PHP 4+ and mysql 5+, everything start to be weird after i implement my costume sessions (storing in database). i only use one database connection for the whole website. what i mean is, the session and every query connect to mysqlserver using the same user. I am not sure if it is because of the sessions. but it happen after i use costume sessions. if i make a SQL query with non existant column name eg: noe SELECT * FROM test WHERE noe=1; Suddenly, if i use top to monitor process on my laptop i saw the processor usage for the mysqld and firefox-bin(iceweasel) increasing. Icewasel will continue to consume processor usage to 100% and memory up to 80% all the time. Worst still, the mouse, keyboard do not work anymore. My laptop very-very slow until i cannot move my mouse cursor at all.. there is no way i can go except turn off the laptop power. I don't know what the problem is this. but, i think there is something to do with the sessions. And it related to PHP or may be problem with Iceweasel. i am using debian unstable. last updated march 2007..
