X does put quite a burden on a 486-33, especially
if there is only 8mb RAM.  How much RAM do you have
on that machine?  If you have more than 8mb, it would
be worth trying links2.  It will probably be sluggish,
but it might be useable (even though the gauge fills
for much of the time).

On my P166, I get a tiny green blip when I move the
mouse -- unless it passes over a link (then it hits
about 50%).

You *definitely* shouldn't be running e2fsck (the checker 
for ext2 filesystems) on a DOS partition.  I'm guessing
that this is happening because you have /dev/hda1 in your
/etc/fstab.  Please send a copy of the entire fstab file
and I will try to sort out where the problem is occuring.
