System crash possible due to too less ram / too heavy applications

Not possible, because the only media I have, is a CF-Card and I dont want to have too extensive write accesses to the Card.

Good point, I have to try this out. Thanks

I think I have both apps/modes running.
As I wrote in another posting here
To be honest, I havent understood the core concept in that way, that I can explain it by myself. Unfortunately.
This makes it not easier to setup the PC correctly.

I try to get a directory output of all the apps, which are installed, hold on please

So, Update on this point:
I reduzed in the Opera-Settings the memory in RAM from "automatic" to "10 MB".
As well as the Memorysize on HDD from 20MB to 10MB.
Additional I set "clear memory on leaving".

Hope, that'll do

Any comments of improvement are highly appreciated!

I need the following:
Apps needed working right at startup:
Opera, NFS and OSS, as well as cpufreq and kmaps (for intern.keyboard)

More apps for further working (were I dont mind, if the start of the apps takes some time):
xpdf with fonts
joe-editor
xmms

If I have setup anything like PPI - I dont know. How can I find that out?

Thank you for your comments.
