I have a minimal thinkpad 380XD that has functioned
flawless through several emerge worlds now. It runs a
stripped down desktop with blackbox and I use it for
lowend media streaming and music.
It is about a 4gig drive with 64meg ram and 233mhz...
After most recent world update I noted the compiler
came to 3.3.5 and I also had some dificulty playing
streams in XMMS and the system would no longer complete
sync but gets RSYNC timeouts continually in io.c.
It goes through part of the sync receiving files etc.
I'm starting to think perhaps the small amount of
memory may have exposed an issue?
I have tried emerges that use the 'e' option and these
seem to fail in random places which made me think
compiler may have issue with space?

Any thoughts on how to cattleprod this system back
to normalcy?
Thanks for any help.
