If that solves your problem then +you can either leave it off, or try closing all other software and +letting the indexing happen overnight or while you are doing something +elsewhere. The initial indexing does take a lot of resources and many +people have found that their computers run hot while it is working. +Usually, once the initial run is complete, it doesn't cause any real +problem. + +HTH + +Anne +- -- +Need KDE help?
