Linux_Lovers...

I have this weekend installed Red Hat "Picasso" with xwindows on my
second machine - a 386DX40 with 8 meg of RAM.  I have set up a 180
Meg partition on my HD and I have about 15 20 meg mounted as a
swap file.

On loading Linux things go as eexpected ... and I get the login
after a minute or so.  (I still need to do some work on the
CR-ROM recognition ... and maybe reduce some of the unwanted
start-ups!

Starting xwindows is another thing.  My set up of VGA screen and
521k video card is recognised but I reckon it takes fully 5 or 6
minutes to stop loading the various bits and pieces!  In an
attempt to set up seyon I started it in xterm.  A further wait of
5 minutes was needed before I could attend to the default
settings!  Any attempt in the meantime to move the mouse or select
anything just results in nothing.  

I know a 386 is only a steady machine ... as in Stedd--Steddy!  This
level of non-performance means I can do nothing with xwindows!  What
have I missed? The swap file is mounted.

Please help.  There, that makes a change from diald problems
doesn't it!
