[newbie] Mandrake 6.0 kernel upgrade problems

Try upgrading to kvirc 0.9 (www.kvirc.org). I also had this problem, and the upgrade fixed it (Mandrake ships with vers. 0.8) On Tue, 25 May 1999, you wrote: > When I go in the the kvIRC program, I do all the setups, THen when I hit > the Misc. tab it cause KDE to shutdown and take me to the com

I think the swap is too little. I was running KDE on a Cyrix PR-120 with 16mb of RAM and 100mb swap and it worked fine. Only when I opened some 4 Netscape and two kvirc windows and also kfm the system started to slow down. So try making that swap partition bigger. On Fri, 28 May 1999, you wrote:

Jose, Glad your mouse is working. I had to resort to reinstalling Mandrake to get my Kensington to work. I am sure it could have been fixed without the reinstall if I were a little smarter. I'm not sure why you are running slow. Everything goes fast for me it seems. I have a larger swap drive

Hello everyone: Just installed Mandrake 5.3 a couple of days ago, and I have been configuring it the last couple of days (BTW, thanks Brian for the tip with the mouse)... But it seems that KDE is working sluggishly slow (Slower than MSOffice 97 on a Pentium 100, if you take my meaning) Is my AMD
