Hello, I did try running Mozilla under Sarge on my Amiga 2000 with 40HMz 030 and 16M of 32-bit RAM with graphics going to my X-Terminal. I did work, but it did cause the machine to swap like mad. Took about 5 minutes to get it initially running. Once it was running though, response was slow, but it did work.
I since discovered Dillo, which was sufficient for my needs, and didn't need as large a footprint. Have not tride KDE, Gnome, Evolution or friends on this hardware. A kernel compile is about a 6-hour job here (2.4.30 with GCC 2.95.4), and that is more CPU bound than it is memory bound. --Lance On Thu, Aug 03, 2006 at 04:50:41PM -0500, Ron Johnson wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Stephen R Marenka wrote: > > On Fri, Aug 04, 2006 at 01:43:46AM +1000, Finn Thain wrote: > >> > >> On Thu, 3 Aug 2006, Wouter Verhelst wrote: > >> > >>> Hi all, > >>> > >>> I don't know what everyone else thinks about it here, but it would > >>> appear to me that making it in time for Etch is not going to happen > >>> anymore now. > >>> * Too many compiler bugs > >> Do you have the toolchain bug IDs at hand? > > > > The issues I know about and have been chasing when I have time are at > > <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianM68kGcc>. > > > > My thoughts on the current failed packages (that are m68k-specific) are > > loosely sorted out at > > <http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/m68kbugs/reports/failed-bynotes.html>. > > Impertinent question, maybe: does anyone using m68k use, for > example, Mozilla or Evolution?
