Having KDE be usable on extremely low-end hardware just isn't > a design goal of KDE. Well, by default it's pretty heavy. But use a few well-known tricks, like cutting out Klipper, or kwrited, making /tmp/.ICE-unix owned by root.root, and a few more, and you'll soon get its speed up. Disable aRts, too, if you want a speed boost. I ran KDE on my P166 with 64mb of RAM (later 96mb) just fine for quite some time - and that was KDE2! -- Daniel Stone <daniel@raging.dropbear.id.au> <dstone@kde.org> Developer - http://kopete.kde.org, http://www.kde.org
