Just about the time I think I might know something about Linux,
something comes along to humble me.
Almost seems like that could be the problem. 256Megs of RAM seems
like a bunch. When I first installed Caldera the documentation said
it only "sees" 64MB.
Tech support told me to add the line "append = "mem=256M"" to my
lilo.conf. I did that and ran lilo to update it.
My swap was not working also so they said to add the line
"/dev/hda2 swap swap default 0 0" to my fstab file.
When I run free it says I have 251MEGs of RAM and 117MEGs of swap.
I almost think there is a memory leak in NetScape because it takes
about 20 minutes to begin having problems and once I stop / restart
NetScape it is fine again.
If others are not having these problems then maybe it has something to
do with Caldera or my setup or hardware.
Who knows.
