[K12OSN] Help VNC crash w/firefox

[Doug Simpson]

Would it be possible to obtain a copy of this distro? Does it boot from
CD or run from hard drive?

I have a use for this.

Let me know and thank you!

Hi everybody!
I write from Argentina.

I recently build a micro-distro that runs with i486 w/4MB ram (yes...
just four megas).
This micro-distro have a Xclient from a vnc-client (svncviewer).
All apps run nice and with a good performance, but when I try to
navigate with firefox, the vnc connection closes and the Xclient
crashes and freeze!!!...

Here a only that I can get of /var/log/messages: (I login w/user
'educa1')

As you can see, xinetd suddenly closes the vnc connection.
When I put more ram the crash dissapear (4MB more, total=8MB), but I
really need to use this machines (near of 1500) of 4MB ram, the
machines are a IBM valuepoint-425SX model 6381.
A few days ago, I can not neither open firefox (the free mem that bios
tell me are 3072Kb, kernel 509Kb-bzipped, rootfs-290kb-gz).
Next, I disable the ROM in RAM and I get near of 320Kb, and then I can
navigate only in some pages, that have a few text nothing more...
I did read that is a bug of Xorg, and I did update it, but nothing....
I have been thinking come back to fedora 5 -4 -3 -2 -1 or RH9, and try
to get some repos (especially non-free)
Any can help me? or give me any idea?
Thankyou a lot!
Alberto Castillo
