The latest version of Firefox installation failed!

[worm]

After officially downloading the latest ISO and installing it on the hard drive, use APPS to download and install the latest version of Firefox. Currently, it has been found that only this browser is the latest on the TinyCore platform. It has a separate script for installation, but it often fails to update, relying entirely on luck for installation! This is annoying! And the latest ISO's built-in telnet will get stuck in the login interface when connecting!

As shown in the picture, prompt to restart for subsequent installation! But it still looks the same after restarting, and there won't be any FIREFOX icon!

Hi, worm.

I can see that the process was killed.

What machine are you using ?

How big is your RAM ?

I assume you're using CorePlus ISO, which is 32 bit, yeah ?

The virtual machine using VMware has a given memory of 512MB. Is the memory too small?

[polikuo]

That should be enough for regular use.

However, since you're booting the latest CorePlus ISO, which loads all the extensions by default.

That might eat up your memory.

Have you set up persistent installation yet ?

[polikuo]

A quick test with virtualbox

I am sure you've run out of memory

The dependencies and the firefox package takes up more than 500M when loaded, even with persistent installation.

My virtual machine just freeze.

To fix that, either allocate more RAM, or create (swap partitions) / (swap file) for the system.

Thank you for your answer! The usability of modular systems is relatively limited! I can now update the virtual machine memory normally by increasing it to 2GB~I am a beginner and have encountered many strange problems! It may be related to the memory setting being too small!

Hi worm
Just a heads up,  /tmp  resides in RAM, not on a drive.
So when you dropped that 87Mbyte firefox tar file into /tmp, you
used up 87Mbytes of your RAM.
