I don't think FF 1.5 take 1GB of RAM also if it is closed. It's much a problem of freeing memory. Anyway thanx for the answer. The RAM problem isn't problebamtic as the network problem ! - I've lot of mates around that can't use the FTP install on 0.7.1 but that didn't seems to scare anybody ... - I've no solution fr my testing install of arch ... that can't access network anymore ! Hopefully I don't work on it ! And Hopfully I have a "current" arch install next to testing so I can chroot from current to testing in order to upgrade it ...
The two network problems look the same : no network ( eth0 is down ), if I modprobe the module needed by the network card and then configure it or restart the network , it doesn't work either ! I hope I have an answer to this and/or it will be fixed soon. Arnaud Armando M.
