Re: [ossig] RE: Problem running KDE

[Seah Hong Yee <hongyee@polyscientific.com.my>]

I have one workstation with similar configuration. Epox K6-II-500 256MB 
ram TNT2 graphic card.  I did however, run Mandrake 9.0 on it. It has 
been up and running for a few weeks and has no noticeable problem.  
Mandrake 9.0 is using 2.4.19 which I believe RH 8 is using also.

What you might want to check it out is look at the log file  and see 
what causes KDE to hang.
