Hi Alonso,

I followed your hints and the startup time of KDE4 slightly improved.
Thanks.

Then I copied the /usr/local from the USB to the SSD of the EeePC and
mounted it from there during boot. This has nearly no effect on the
start time of KDE4. What really helped was copying the HOME of the user
of KDE4 to the SSD. There seems to be a lot of disk i/o in the mysql
database and other files on startup.

I know have to learn how to manage KDE4 because it differs a lot from
KDE3.

Thanks
