the only X program I use is Opera

I do not recommend Opera for a 75MHz system.

You need a glibc upgrade

I do not recommend a glibc upgrade for a 75MHz
system. BL3 uses libc5 specifically for such
machines in order to get decent performance.
Clogging those machines with glibc defeats
the whole purpose.

I thought glibc was avoided because it took up too much disk space, or RAM, not cpu time. He has a large hard disk and lots of RAM.

I have BL2 working fine on my 100MHz pentium with 24MB RAM, with glibc and wireless ethernet (text browsers). 340MB disk. I have BL1 on my 486. What library did Opera 6 need?


It is bad advice to suggest to people with
slow computers that they should upgrade the
library and/or kernel. Yes, I know that a
kernel upgrade may be necessary for some
newer hardware (personally I avoid such
hardware). But a library upgrade is almost
always unjustified for such machines.

Cheers,
Steven
