the newest version is in "Netsurf" (the other two are older versions including the AGA version). I have looked in the documentation and at least for the 2.9 series RTG was a requirement so I do not believe that it works without it. "AGA" needs AGA obviously so without either AGA or RTG it will not work I think.

I do have RTG...  Does it require something specific?  A certain version of rtg.library, perhaps?  Something from CyberGraphX?  Like I said before, I'm running absolutely the brand-newest version of P96 available, AFAIK.  Oh well, I'm about to give up, LOL.  :(

Bytes.  If you'd read the links I posted earlier you'd know that.

Sorry boss, those links were way too technical for reading at 3am.  :laughing:

So, to spell it out for a dumb, idiot layman:  The default disk cache is set to 1073741825 bytes.  Google calculator tells me that rounds down to 1.07 gigabytes.  I've installed NetSurf in SYS:Internet/NetSurf directory.  My entire SYS: partition (a.k.a. Workbench partition) is only 500 megabytes.  So, could one problem potentially be that NetSurf is crashing because it is trying to allocate a disk cache larger than my entire partition size?

And that's just one of the options, LOL!  Nevermind, I give up, haha.

Well h-e-double-hockeysticks.  I managed to get it running again.  Since it demonstrated a repeated pattern of crashing every time it accessed my hard disk (CF card), I tried dragging the entire Netsurf directory to RAM:, assigning it there, and running it from there.  Just to see what would happen.

I also ramped way down the crazy numbers for those cache values, window size to 600x400, and depth to 16.

Aside from Google thinking I'm in Poland, and it running completely out of memory when I tried to load amiga.org, it did work.  :lol:

Some pics attached.

BTW, I watched it count down to zero, and it did crash again shortly after that "almost out of memory" error.  I guess 72MB is not enough when running the application from the ram disk.  This proves my theory though that it should run on actual classic hardware, but guess I'd probably need at least 128MB and an '060.  ;)

Edit:  I wonder if it would be possible to run the application from RAM:, but assign the cache location to a hard disk somewhere?
