I only have one DSL install, just for this laptop.

If you decide to reinstall at some point in time, consider the benefits of frugal install. It's a lot easier to keep up to date when new versions come out, you have the option of persistent /home, etc. It will run at similar speeds on most "older" hardware as a traditional install.

As for the USB stuff, glad you got it sorted out.

Ahh - another question answered!  Speed was a major factor in choosing a full HD install b/c i didn't know better.  Good to have that clarified.

Just a note - this question has been answered many times at the forums. And it's always been a wrong windoze-only partition table from the factory.

So - quick speed question... are JWM, IceWM, and Fluxbox all about the same speed, that is, use about the same amount of system resources? (Remember, i've got 48 MB RAM and like a 165 GHz clock.)  That default window manager IS JWM, isn't it?  From what i gather, flux is maybe a tiny bit faster than Ice, i figger JWM must be lighter than ice as well...

(thanks again - i'll leave you alone after this!) :p

Speed is relative. JWM is the smallest of those listed and has the fewest dependencies. The following links to a web page that compares the memory and library requirements for different window managers.
