Live cd and large video files
 
Dear all,
I'm a beginner, I'm using puppy 4.12 live cd on an old Toshiba Satellite 366 mhz Celeron with 128 MB RAM and 3GB HD, the browser is Seamonkey 1.1.11 and flash 9.0.124.0, the pup save file is 128 MB.
When I try to open flash videos larger than 70MB the browser crashes.
If I try that on a desktop with 512 MB RAM AMD 2600+ 40GB HD no problem.

Is there a virtual memory management in puppy live cd?
When the RAM is full seamonkey is kicked out of it!
Would a frugal install prevent the crashes?
I prefer not to install and keep on using the live cd.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance

For a full install , I would use a swap partition. Don't know if that would help from cd or not... But I bet so. Otherwise .. more ram. HTH.. Rp
