i'm building a customized kiosk for a project and i must solve a problem.
i have 600 pc with 64 Mb ram, so i'm implementing very basilar desktop with
fluxbox, and i need xdm at start to give the chance to choose the user in a
very simple way. it works fine, but something i still need to fix.
when i launch xdm, and then mozilla, i noticed very bad performance. the
point is that when i do "ps -e" i see this output:

....
.....
"xdm"
"xdm"
"xdm"
"xdm"
"xdm"
"mozilla-bin"
"mozilla-bin"
"mozilla-bin"
"mozilla-bin"
"mozilla-bin"
.....
.....

five instances of mozilla running means wasting about 50 Mb of ram, too much
for my machines...

so the question is: what should i change to stop all these instances of
xdm/mozilla.
i tought it's cause xdm and so mozilla get all 6 virtual screen so i changed
/etc/inittab to stop all tty except tty1 and i got only 1 session of xdm
running; but still 5 sessions of mozilla..

any suggestion?

regards, pacho
