I have a Mac II with a CMS Pro-102K 102mb hard disk. There is no partitioning,
I am running it as one 102mb logical drive. I am running Finder 6.0 and
System 4.0 and MultiFinder 1.0.
Without Desktop Manager, the system is incredibly slow to create/copy new
files. I moved the Desktop Manager INIT into my System Folder and now things
are much faster in that department. However, now system bootup takes much
longer -- specificly the time between when the last init is loaded and the
menu bar appears at the top of the screen and the time when I can actually
begin to do something on the mac (icons appear if any windows are open,
trash can icon appears if I'm running MultiFinder) is *much* longer than
before. It seems to me that DtM is rebuilding the Desktop DB and Desktop DF
files on reboot. (By the way, I did not delete the Desktop file itself.)
I think I must have done something wrong, could someone please give me the
*exact* sequence of events for properly installing Desktop Manager? Should
I remove the Desktop file, should I rebuild the dekstop via the control
panel, or what?
Thanks,
Paul
