The problem I'm having is slow moving of large files from one directory to another on the same partition. I would think it should be nearly instantaneous when moving files within the same partion as it is with all other distros I've ever used but emelfm will become unresponsive for several minutes when moving a directory around 500mb's. Here's the fstab info for how my partitions are mounted:

/proc      /proc       proc   defaults            0 0
/sys       /sys        sysfs  noauto              0 0
/dev/pts   /dev/pts    devpts mode=0622           0 0
/dev/fd0   /mnt/auto/floppy auto   user,noauto,exec,umask=000    0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom  auto   user,noauto,exec,ro 0 0

/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hda3 none swap defaults 0 0

The problem I've described is on my ext3 partition (haven't experimented much with the others yet). I've also got another
issue involving the usb2.0 hard drive sda partitions. I was moving some large files from sda1 to hda2 and experience extremely slowwww transfer speeds which are much different than the other distros I was using. It also takes up to 45 seconds or so just to mount sda1. Here's my boot parameters:

title DSL fb1024x768-2
kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=791 noapic dma nomce noicons nofloppy frugal hdc=ide-scsi opt=hda2 home=hda2 mydsl=hda2/mydsl
initrd /boot/minirt24.gz

Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.
