It does really strange things, like it was a completely different program. So I supect more like compatibility problems with perl version, libraries or something like that.... pfarrell Wrote: > > How much memory you got on the box? 200 GB of songs is gonna > need a lot.

But slimserver only uses 54 MB of it, and all the rest of the system up to 121 MB in total, so memory is NOT the issue. There is enough of RAM.
The old box can support max. 384 MB (iBX440 chipset), and nowdays it is difficult to find SDR-DIMMs compatible with BX440. pfarrell Wrote: > Or pick up a more modern, low power system.
