I have revived an old 133Mhz P75, 49 Mb memory computer, added a Wifi card and use Opera to surf the net at something like reasonable speed.

A problem I have is that I can't add any other myDSL programs. I would like to add Abiword, but, when I download it with my DSL, the operating system looses the desktop, doesn't shutdown normally and never shows Abiword.

Is the problem that I don't have enough memory? Is there anything I can do? Will the new version 3.0 help?

This is my first use of Linux and I pleased how fast and stable it is compared to the Windows 95 that was on the laptop.

Thanks,

kerry

Did you add a swap to act as extra memory?

I have a 200 Mb swap partition that I made active and seems to working but is almost empty, only a few Mb is in there, 1%, even when running Opera.

One thing that puzzles me is that the /home shows 198M/201M and / shows 2.4/3.0 on the desktop after a fresh boot but emelfin indicates /ramdisk/home contains only 15Mb.

This is my first salvo into Linux so pardon me if I'm pretty ignorant about whats happening.
