I apologize for posting this message here, as its not
FULLY SuSE related, but I'm at mind end here. I
recently aquired a Pentium 60, with 40 Megs ram, which
I used to take place of my old 486 DX4 100MHZ, with 8
Megs ram. I thought that an upgrade of such, even
with the 100mhz of the dx4 being equivilant to a P75,
would help. I even got a 2 meg video card in the
process, taking place of my old VGA card, which I
havent even any idea of how much it had. To my UTTER
suprise, I noticed when booting of the SuSE install
disk, the new system was MUCH slower. In the 486, the
little ansi/ascii menu's just popped up, and all,
without thinking (too much), or blank screens. With
the pentium, the menu's display in a choppy, blinky,
all around messy process that takes yast around 5 mins
to load up. (scary huh?) I was wondering if anyone
would know if there might be a hardware conflict I
might have missed, or if the boot disks are just
automatically set up to act like its running on a
crappy 386. (I figure, based on the fact it took me 4
1/2 hours to compile my flippin' kernel, that the
system is running equivilant to a 386/16 (dx2 even!)).
Anyways, sorry to post this here, but I didnt know of
elsewhere to go :).
Thanks,
Keith Snape
