responds slow when click to executable...

[dmzeplin]

Cache = 256 KB

Ram = 353/369 MB

Swap = 1/494 MB

 

Any tip for an adjust to make it quick respond? Since most application respond real damn slow when I click to executable it?

 

:unsure:

 

I might added: when I typed hdparm /dev/hdx it showed;

/dev/hdx:

multcount = 8 (on)

IO_support = 1 (32-bit)

unmaskirq = 1 (on)

using_dma = 1 (on)

keepsettings = 0 (off)

readonly = 0 (off)

readahead = 256 (on)

geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 12273597, start = 63

 

can you explian what multcount and geometry means?

 

Thanks

Make sure the hostname in /etc/hosts is the same as what you get when you give the hostname command (open a console, type: hostname)

 

Hdparm: open a console, type man hdparm. If I remember coorectly multcount is the number of sectors that can be read in one go. Geometry is how the HD is structured.

I tried to go /etc/hosts, I only access in root; /etc/ and saw hosts in /etc/ but unable to open hosts??

 

I am pretty still rookie with UNIX stuff.... Also, About Geotmary, is start = 63 too much to start for boot up and run?
