Hey

I made a HD-Install and think it works great.

Got a 266 Celeron with 374MB SD-RAM.

How do I now manage to make DSL save some RAM.

When Fluxbox starts up it already uses over 92% of the RAM Space and leaves the SWAP totally out.

Is there a way to change that especially because i'd like to use OOffice and that would be too much for my RAM-Space.

Before you installed DSL, did you have DSL booted to ram? Its probably better if you just ran it from cd. I had a pentium with 200 mhz and 64 megs of ram run OOo (incredibly slow, but it ran).
