Thanks very much..will look for it..this would basically answer most or all of my original issues..with the exception of the spontainious freeze ups..I decided to try on a p166 motherboard..same everything but the board...did not like at all..so back to testing the dx2..with the new additions I can not use opera or firefox..opening gives freeze..but most everything seems to function as before otherwise..thought maby dictd server? like the new adds though..will have to try a different board..think this one liked windoze.

FYI,

Does switching the window manager from the default Fluxbox over to JWM help with the freezeups?

Gatta love the xcalc...many thanks for that...any one installing on old equipment will want to use it...used with bever and jpiolet...also with dia..both with tunes..copy/paste calc total to bever..system is looking good for a tired old dx2..
opened dillo and hit a few links..fine..when I closed and clicked hangup..as before freeze..
reboot..switch to jwm...open opera and check a few links...close and open dillo..few links...close and hangup..wow...will have to test further..but initial test suggest switch for online service..like fluxbox better..but what works works..thanks
just used all my new knowledge to install on a pent166-the bios needed some changing before I could load..typeing this with opera 8 from the test folder. so far so good. will post the dx2 tests with jwm to keep the dx2 project positive..
many thanks..great forum.

Well..to good to be true...spontainious freeze ups...dsl on the dx2 is fine if I do not try to connect to the net..It had worked better before adding the dict amoung others..so may try a basic install another time and check the online issue. Have installed on a pent166 which is much nicer..will have to get it set up and test...
