No, its an applet, running in appletviewer, using an appropriate html file.
>Are you running X?
Yes. And top shows that during the loading process X is taking on the order
of 80% of processor time, java most of the rest. This is perhaps strange
because during this period no visible painting related to the applet is
happening.

48 MB.

Yes. There is a good-sized IDE hard drive on the development platform.

Yes. Linux itself runs fine. X is fine. Regular aps are fine. Blackdown
javac runs OK. Kaffe java runs OK but has some problems.

No NIC is installed. So, no network.
Incidentally, the reason for using the Elan chip (under $50) is that this
is to be an embedded product. The product version will obviously have less
resources than the development platform.
