I've only got something like 625M RAM and around 4G disk space (for var/portage). I used 750M from that 4G for adding swap. Eventually FF compiled fine. The irony is that older boxen which would benefit most from building from source are constrained in resources to achieve this and have to resort to installing bin packages. -- Regards, Mick
