Now, as I try to keep things running smoothly and as quick as possible with my PIII 733Hz 512MB RAM box ( MDK 10 Official ), I was just curious
as to wether or not there is anything here I could trim to help KDE cut down on start-up time?
It just that there appears to be some redundant directories and others with next to nothing in them, whilst still others appear to 'double' up?
Or is there a way to have KDE look for extra fonts when required to only? [ Hmmm... this one dosen't make practical sense but I thought I would ask in case this tinkering newbie missed something. ]
TIA. Any assistance is always greatly appreciated.
