Thanks for v. 4.3RC1 and 2! I have remastered them both and succumbed them to the most vigorous tests imaginable and they just don't crash. I have compiled source-code with the noswap option and had just a handful of MB's left in RAM but it wouldn't crash. I have also made some hacks in the config- and init-files just to get it the way I want (e.g. starting with fluxbox and autostarting rcfirewall etc.) and it works just fine. With regards to the 4.3 branch I would suggest to go with the 2.4.31 kernel and leave the 2.6 kernel for the 5.x branch. I'm sorry to here about your medical condition. I also suffer from some chronic medical conditions and that's why I kind of "disappear" from the forums for a while at times, when things are too bad. I hope everything work out to the best for you!
As always have fun with this wonderful distro. meoHi meo,
Thanks for the feedback. Nice to hear that it is very stable. Sorry to hear that you too have medical issues. Now, I know why when you are gone for awhile; much like me now. Thanks for your remastering tips and tricks. I am sure many have found it helpful.
-- RobertWhich version of Firefox will be used for 4.3, and will there be a mydsl extension for it?
Just for experimenting, I built Fx 2.0.0.13 against gtk1. It consistently used less memory than firefox-2.0-gtk1.uci (just a couple MiB's, measured from `ps`). But I did set the march to i586 (and some others) so I'm not sure if that's what made the big difference (the uci version did not have any indication in the .info) or the new version is just that much better. Just fyi.
(I know this is the RC2 thread, but since the Firefox poll was closed... and this post isn't long, it doesn't warrant a new thread imo)

Measured against identical sites in same number of tabs? Using same themes and/or chrome? Extensions, plugins, etc.?
EDIT: BTW, current is 2.0.0.14. One security fix: Crash in JavaScript garbage collector.John would have to answer your questions as he did the build and slimming down of FFv2. I was just given a tarball to replace the old v1.0.6. The issue with FF is, it is, always changing, but I do see John's point of view. John and I will test this over the weekend. Likely early next week for the next cut with FFv2 included.Next Page...
