hello list, I have a 64 bit AMD Athlon xp machine with 64 bit Fedora core 3 installed .The cds have been purchased as a set of 8 cds including the sources.After installation what I find is: 1.The machine boots up VERY slowly. 2.Graphics display the previous windows shutdown screen if I reboot from windows. 3.The machine runs very slow as if it were to be a 386 machine although have 256 MB ram (192 for programs and 64 for vga).Can I tune any proc entries and improve the performance safely? 4.Whenever I try to copy a cd from linux it fails everytime reporting some kind of seek errors,but the same cd would get copied in windows.Is there any default switch to cp which I have to override? 5.When I shutdown/init 0 the machine it simply reboots. I suspect the drivers for my graphics is not present.Is it possible? Thanks in advance. -kaushal. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
