Hm, I've gotta try this on my 33mhz 486.  I'm not sure how much RAM it has though..

ouch- low end systems.  I would recommend some mkswap, but if you're not going to be multi-tasking too much, I guess little ram/swap should be fine.  Still, if you do have a few mb's of hd space, a little bit of swap could go a long way.

Do you run the XWindow manager with fluxbox as well?

Hm?  I don't understand what you're saying.  I just said that I gotta try it on my 486 just to try it.  I've got way better machines to do it on, but I wanna see how well it works on a 486.

Sorry, didn't read your post all to carefully. Guess that's what happens when one sits up two straight days just configuring linux :)

I missunderstood and thought you managed to install it on a 33mhz, not that you where going to try it. My bad. :)
