After HDD installForum: HD Install Topic: After HDD install started by: PDG1 Posted by PDG1 on May 25 2007,22:03
Hey... I just installed DSL on the HDD and it's working... okay... i guessI'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 Rock on ~Ryan Posted by mikshaw on May 26 2007,01:53
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 Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on May 26 2007,20:16
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 |
