I'm trying to run it on 33MHz 486sx with 8meg. I have 12M of swap. I'm not exactly sure which version of KDE it is. I downloaded from the hamm/contrib...
I didn't realize KDE took up so much memory. Well if this machine is not capable of running KDE are there any suggestions. I didn't like fvwm95 and I assume the NEXT Step clone take a lot of mem too.
