Re: [Scottish] (no subject)
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 John Gordon Ollason wrote: 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.
