Boot with the 'nozswap' boot option.  You have plenty of real swap.
It is going to be difficult to run any large X app with only 80M of RAM.

Copy & Paste:
Just mark the text with the mouse, then paste it anywhere using middle mouse button or SHIFT+INSTERT.
You can also copy via keybord but I forgot the exact key combo. (CTRL+INS or CTRL+SHIFT+INS).
Download a copy and keep it handy: Core book ;)

Given the amount of swap you have, I doubt you are running out of memory.
By default core is allocating 90% of Total of RAM as max. size of tmpfs, so it is not unlikely you run out of storage space.
Also to consider is that with a tmpfs that small there is a chance of running out of inodes before running out of space which might result in same error message.

I'd find trying to run epiphany with 80MB RAM absolute overkill, regardless of everything else.

You need to edit your bootloader config file.
Where it is depends on what you are booting from and which boot loader you are using.
Please consult  the wiki.

I edited the "extlinux.conf" file and I added "nozswap".

When I reboot with "nozswap" :
Code: (bash) [Select]
tc@box:~$ cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sda2                               partition 297196 0 -1

The "/dev/zram0" disappeared.

Epiphany doesn't use the swap partition and exit with this errors : (the GUI not start).
Code: (bash) [Select]
touch: /usr/local/tce.installed/gnome-icon-theme: No space left on device
mkdir: can't create directory '/tmp/tcloop/gnome-icon-theme-symbolic': No space left on device
mount: can't setup loop device: No space left on device

What is the command to show the enabled extensions ?
How I can disable extensions ?

Run Apps and remove anything you don't need from 'onboot'.
Then reboot.

The only ones you need are:
Xprogs.tcz
Xvesa.tcz
flwm_topside.tcz
aterm.tcz
wbar.tcz

I deleted the items unless this :
Xprogs.tcz
Xvesa.tcz
flwm_topside.tcz
aterm.tcz
wbar.tcz
kmaps.gz

Now I have 30704K free Mem with recorded shell output to a file on USB Key mounted. Thanks a lot gerald_clark.

When I try to launch Epiphany web browser, it exit with this errors : (the GUI not start).
Code: (bash) [Select]
tc@box:~$ epiphany
/usr/share/fonts: caching, new cache contents: 1 fonts, 0 dirs

After I launch Epiphany I have 3704K free Mem and the swap partition empty.

How did you delete them?
Did you reboot?
How did you install epiphany?
Why don't you add memory so you can actually run something?

I effaced them in the "/tce/onboot.lst" file with the text editor.
I rebooted of course.
I installed epiphany OnDemand with the Apps software.
I will extend memory to the amount of 144 Mb very soon. (The 128 Mb module is on the way)

Code: (bash) [Select]
touch: /usr/local/tce.installed/gnome-icon-theme: No space left on device
mkdir: can't create directory '/tmp/tcloop/gnome-icon-theme-symbolic': No space left on device
mount: can't setup loop device: No space left on device
Why epiphany doesn't launch ?

You simply don't have enough memory to run Epiphany right now.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

How much megabyte does it need ?

Can I install an another web browser that need less memory ?
