RAM usageForum: HD Install Topic: RAM usage started by: cataclysmic Posted by cataclysmic on Nov. 25 2004,09:00
HeyI 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. Posted by ico2 on Nov. 25 2004,17:38
you should have plenty ram for OOo

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).

i doubt that would have made a difference, hdinstalls don't use the toram option anyway.
