Other Help Topics :: No DSL applications with Opera.uci

133 and 49MB is not enough memory for frugal, plus .dsl type extensions.
You would probably be OK with all uci type extenisons.
Or You could try the 3.0RC2 and see if unc type extension will help; it should.

Thanks for that help.

I now find that, paradoxically, I can now run openoffice.org (a uci file) at the same time as opera, but not, the much smaller, abiword (Why is that?). Openoffice runs slowly and really fills up my swap drive and ( I see) home directory.

I'll try 3.0 when it is out of beta. I'm afraid of messing with my installation since I have no CDrom or USB.

It's not a paradox, or even slightly ironic. Open Office is a uci package, which means it's mounted. If you have the file stored on a physical drive the program does not need much additional ram to mount. Abiword is a dsl package, which means it's extracted into ram. Even if you have the *.dsl stored on a physical drive the program will still need much more ram to install the program.

As Robert suggested, stick with the uci extensions and you will be much better off.
