the amount of RAM is quite small, only 640 megabytes.  i did not customize the kernel as you can see from my previous uname -a output.  i just started kde from XFree version 3 and mozilla, making some ports, try using xml by amaya. and that's all that i can do.

once again much thanks for your kindness and good helps.

with best regards,
