Re: [ossig] RE: Problem running KDE

I have not tried installation Linux on PC partner motherboard.

Your system may not be "hanged" but very slow.  GUI requires a fair amount
of  computer power.
Try using text based interface instead of GUI to determined if is a Linux OS
or hardware issue.

Use ext2 instead ext3 fs. I noticed ext3 performed slower than ext2 fs.

Good luck.
