Not all the mirrors have the 'old' directory:

Hi,
It's hard to say, what CPU doing, because when I click Diagnosis -> CPU Activity, nothing happens ( empty window )
friendly regards

Well that's not a good sign.
Try running 'top -SH' at the command line.What Celeron are you running?

Maybe instead of doing a downgrade, do a clean install of 2.1 and restore settings. I'd bet it will then work fine.

I run Celeron Coopermine ( Socket 370 ) 1000MHz…
But one hour ago, I found that CPU fan have failure. Radiator was overheated and fan stops. ( I do not have spare cpu fan for such old socket )
In that case, I decided to move on a "new" platform - Dell CPU Pentium 4 2.4GHz with 2GB RAMFor now everything works fine, even with 2.1-RELEASE (i386) ( on new PC )
thanks a lot
Jack
