Hi,.
I just reinstalled Mandrake 7.0-2 to clean up the GNOME desktop and some
other things I messed up. Now GNOME is horrendously slow! Everything
takes about 10x as long as it used to and I don't think I did anything
differently between now and when I installed it before... any ideas?
I don't know why but on some systems you have to go one less than the number.
Since below your total is (23 at boot plus 8 meg for video) 31 then try
append="mem=31M" and rerun lilo. Then reboot.
