Problems! Problems!

First, the DSL error messages I write here are according to my memory because I just shutdown DSL and returned to win98 to use IE instead of dillo which crashed so frequently

1. I have retrieved 'parted' thru myDSL/App and run it but got the message 'Killed' after a while. Here are the command I used:
(parted) print
(parted) resize 1 0 13500

Killed <-- returned by system

I found a newer 1.7.0 parted but the version retrieved from myDSL is 1.6.? (I can't recall). But how can I install the latest 1.7.0 to have a try ? Do I have to build something like abc.dsl to load into myDSL or there is some other way. How?

2. I tried to install gcc1.dsl but it hangs after the download. I then use mydsl-load gcc1.dsl but the system gives something like "tar: Cannot allocate memory".

3. dillo always crash after being used for a while. I tried to start it from terminal as advised from others to see what errors are logged. But it's found that when it crashed, only the word "killed" is printed on screen.

I thought 64M + PII is o.k for DSL but I think I may be wrong after these few days of test. Any advises ? Really frustrated.

Solved!

I finally got DSL 2.4 installed on another old PC (P133+64M+2G HD). With hda1 as swap and hda2 for base. I have also download gcc1.dsl. No problems encountered and up to now. System response is good.

So my suggestion to others is that if you don't have a free partition to install (frugal, debian, etc) DSL, fix this first before you continue. Otherwise you may encouter other problems with just a liveCD or using poorman's installation. I think when running in these modes, the memory is a bit tight for complex jobs and you can't have swap files in this mode.

Thanks.
