By system I meant the DSL distro of course ah...and by system I mean the computer & harddrive

Is there no other way? Maybe some cheatcode to remove things that load at boot? [like sound and forth]
Don't run "toram". The toram option copies the entire compressed volume from the CD into RAM which means you're automatically going to lose 50MB of RAM right there. Remember that it's not copying individual files, it's grabbing the entire compressed filesystem image (you can't leave anything out). Without "toram" it will just access all that stuff from CD. You'll see a slight performance hit but if what you're looking to do is run gcc at the console then you won't be using much out of the base distro anyway.
The only real downside is that you can't take the CD out. If that's an issue, plug in a USB memory stick and do a poorman's install to that. Boot with the LiveCD then the system will switch over to running off USB and free up your CD-ROM drive.i would tryp
boot: dsl 2
this will boot up into text mode only and i also wouldn't run toram unless you have to. You will need that ram for other things like compiling your c++ code. I would also recomend the NANO editor if you are a VI hater.....
Good luckWell, I kinda like toram for it's speed but I must admit that I've been using it in 'normal' mode for a few hours today and it was fast enough, so it's OK Never before have I just sat and tried to work like that
Thanks for help everyone. I'll just stick with normal mode in the end Next Page...
