drive icons long to display after desktop icons

Hi phil,

On a very fresh frugal install (k 4.4.95), the drive icons long to display, long after desktop icons - i.e. more than 30 sec after desktop icons have been displayed.
I tried several times reinstalling from the iso, but no change.

Thanks for any advice
