Hi,


that fixed the problem: no more core dumps. I replaced the 2 GB by a 973MB HD and now everything runs fine.
Thanx to all.

it is as long as the booted filesystem is <1gig.. the firmware will wrap 
around 1gig, so the disk can be larger, but if it tries to read anything 
past a gig, it get's modded down and reads from somewhere in the first 
gig. just make sure / is in the first gig and you should be fine.
