You should have the useradd (and usermod and userdel) command. How is it you think you don't?

If you cd du -s you get all space consumed by your HOME directory. Then to get it broken down by directory (including ".*" directories and files), do du -s `ls -A` | less (Those backticks (`) are the key above the [Tab] key on most keyboards.)

This is a cheap laptop with a UniChrome Pro IGP chipset and the OpenChrome driver doesn't address it because it's too new and the OpenChrome project hasn't done anything for a while. I've assigned the vesa driver and it's what's slow. I'm not sure what other driver I could try.

I suppose you could reduce the depth of the viewport from 24 to 16 or something, but that reduces your color rendering, and generally the vesa driver isn't truly horrible. Perhaps there's something else, such as the shared memory segment being slow or you're swapping a lot. Have you tried googling for the PCI ID of the chipset? Perhaps there's another driver out there that can work with it even if your X doesn't recognize it due to its newness. In that case you can force X to use the new driver anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - The trouble with troubleshooting is that trouble sometimes - - shoots back. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
