Bingo. I haven't installed Slack yet, but 'mem=16M' works with Debian (Woody, kernel 2.2.19) on another drive on the same box. I don't have a modem hooked up yet, but graphical (svgalib) links works o.k. offline with 16 meg (it didn't work on my 486-25 with 8 meg) and Netscape 4.7 doesn't seem all that bad. Mozilla is impossible. These are the only graphical browsers I currently have installed. From what I remember of some of the others that I tried in the past, specifically Opera and konqueror, my guess right now is that Netscape might still be the best bet for javascript on the target system. By the way, I have been using larswm (or ratpoison) rather than icewm and rxvt for x-term. Howard E.
