Regarding leaving a system running for several days...

It has been documented that using fluxbox, xtdesk, and some running apps does have a small memory leak. It is not a good idea.
You can search the forums to see the past posts, tests, and results concerning this. Might want to try jwm.

Also, when using Opera852.unc or any other non-base browser, such as the new(er) firefox or seamonkey, you should first change the cache size down to a very small amount. It could also be that your browser cache is consuming your free ram.

Robert,

thanks a lot for your answers; you keep us all encouraged! DSL-3 is a really great challenge!

Regarding system running several years: I'm in jwm, that's not the first time that I keep DSL running weeks (and even months) without any problem; just in order to tell you that you have given us the very powerful horse you know!

issue with opera: it could be related to the fact that opera is an extension, and that it feeds my ressources, but this is so far not a really big problem.

I keep on testing.
yours
z

On enabling icons, samba was there and worked just fine, guess I won't use 'noicons' for awhile.....as I recall on the firefox issue, I may have dl'ed Opera852 and used it a bit, then quit it and started Firefox again, used it a little and then it messed up as reported earlier, so it could be a cache issue or something. I have not  
had any subsequent problems using Firefox as the only browser. I realize this is still beta and believe my remarks have not been of a 'griping' nature..just trying to inform...

Samba was one of the packages that contained mydsl.menu under /var/tmp.  It would just need to be rebuilt with mydsl.menu in /tmp to work with the new (better) file structure.
