ok, when i had 1.5 installed, I started out using the Live CD, and since it ran so well, i went to a Hard drive install. I did this from inside DSL, first creating a partition using cfdisk (i think thats what its called) then running the hard drive install tool (not the frugal install). This ran great for a while. Then I saw last friday (1/30/2006) 2.1b was out so i made a list of the extras i had installed and grabbed the iso. When I tried running the live cd, everything was great until the black and white background came up with the X cursor. Then it began to crawl and I waited at least 1 hour to see if the desktop icons would show up. Nothing did. I know it was an hour because thats how long my lunch is. Then i thought it must not have enough ram so I gave the install command at boot, and installed 2.1b to the hard drive. It installed ok. I booted the laptop at maybe 2:30pm. When i left work it was 5:15pm and it still didn't have the whole desktop. When i checked it around 9am this morning (note that it had been on since friday with no power saving features turned on) it still hadn't done anything more than the stats screen in the upper left and the bar at the bottom. I have also tried running the lowram command but that does nothing.
