HD Install :: After HDD install

Hey... I just installed DSL on the HDD and it's working... okay... i guess

I'm wondering if there's anything I should do to configure DSL so it can run better on the machine

I'm also curious why every now and then my Firefox windows decide to close
it's like DSL just decides that I've been pushing it too much and that it much rather not...

it's funny because Knoppix which I run as a live CD doesn't do that
it doesn't matter what I'm doing with Iceweasel, it'll always run it without question
it's not like i don't have the resources

anyways... some suggestions as to what I can do with my DSL machine to make it better would be nice

I'd create a swap partition as the first step. Also check to see if your Firefox cache is eating up your ram. If the cache is larger than the ramdisk, and especially if it's larger than your available ram, Firefox will definitely crash.

There was a forum thread with lots of firefox enhancing tricks..
Try searching it up

You could also try that swap-in-ramdisk technique john posted about (if you're not using swap). But probably you'd want to configure firefox first... and which version are you using? You could try an updated one as well.

that sounds good... I really aught to update DSL... I've got a version before 3.0.1 because it was the only one that would work in this machine for some reason... I'm guessing ti was either the media or the way i burnt it...
I didn't really care because at least one CD worked.
I'm running the firefox that came with it... which is 1.0.6
wow... I thought it was 1.5... no wonder none of the plug-ins would work properly

I think I'll try that swap partition thing... and then I'll update
thanks a bunch:D

I would have searched for this info myself... but i really didn't know what to search for
