Hi All,
I have Slack 9.1 and Knopppix 3.3 hd installed together with WinXP in my machine. I noticed the long time taken by KDE to start in Knoppix. It took a full 1min 30sec to do the same as Slack's 30sec. I am not sure why it took so long, is there something i can do to improve on the start up time? From power up till reaching the startx Knoppix fares bettwer, need only 32sec, Slack took 48sec. But all in, Knoppix is still awefully slow. Any clue? Thanks.
The KDE developers have put some effort into the few versions of KDE to make KDE run faster. Maybe the Knoppix KDE is an older version than the Slackware KDE.

I think i should say , XDM starts up slow, not KDE. So be it Fluxbox, XFCE or any other WM, they are all slow, hindered by the slow xdm start up. So changing to a newer version of KDE may not be the answer. Thanks for your help anyway.

Try kano's fix-fonts.sh and you may want to check in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log on the next start of the X server and see if any of the font paths have errors still in them as well and comment them out. You may want to also look at the remove-startup-services and remove-servers.

They are just shell scripts you download them to a directory and after you have become root then you would change to the directorychmod +x name_of_script and then still in the same directory as the scripts ./name_of_script and they will run. When running the remove scripts and apt starts asking you if you wnat to remove the programs answer yes.
