Um, why are you using the ancient RH4.2? Among other problems, the
Linux 2.0 kernel has major performance problems on sun4c machines
(which include the IPC).

What should I use then, I figured that the 25Mhz processor would have a hard
time running a stripped 6.1 but is that the best option?

thanks to all

Run the latest version. Believe it or not, sometimes programs
actually get more efficient in later versions. This isn't Windows
we're talking about here.
