"Hahnsson Henrik"
My Firewall is an "old" Pentium 166 w/ 2GB disk (some 670M free after I removed all extras) and 64M RAM. It's running 7.3 and SuSEFirewall2.
I'm trying to update the packages using YOU. When YOU is trying to load the list of packages, i.e. before I can select which patches to install, it goes through to about 96%, but then it ends up exercising the hard disk (swapping?) continuously.
It's a known problem of YOU in SuSE 7.3 (at least it has been reported in this list several times) - YOU uses too much memory. It's not related to the SuSEFirewall2. See the the following output of "top" taken at the end of the patch download phase. The process "size" is 302 MiB. PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 13498 root 19 0 302M 237M 237M R 73.7 47.3 8:50 y2bignfat YOU in 7.3 works OK on my machine with 512 MiB RAM but I must use fou4s (http://fou4s.gaugusch.at/) on a 150 MHz Pentium with 64 MiB RAM.
Do I need to close down some of these to free more resources?
I don't think it would help.
Do I need to boot up in single user mode?
No. I suggest you use fou4s too. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
