DSL Embedded :: cc command

my software requires the kernal source..
If i load kernelsource.dsl then load gcc.. the dsl window locks up..
If I load gcc then load kernelsource.dsl i get an out of space error then the dsl window exits (closes..)..

so I can't even try running the setup with gcc

You don't have enough memory.
You can try
- increasing your physical RAM
- creating a swap (or increase it) - I'd try this one first.
- do a debian-style hdd install (not very recommended, but it works well with lower memory systems)
- do a remaster (longest, but very worth it)
- create .unc's (if you are using DSL v3+ with unionfs)

in the windows batch file i increased -m 64
to -m 256
That increased my RAM..
I also increased my HOME with:
sudo mount -t tmpfs /ramdisk -o remount,rw,size=1024M,nouser,exec /ramdisk

and that fixed the issues i was having
i was then able to install gcc1.dsl and my kernel-source.dsl and install the software..
Thanks
