I have an iPAQ and I've tried playing on it with ocaml, but I haven't never tested some memory consuming applications. Anyway the memory problem on ipaq are the same that we have on all boxes: you know how many memory you have and you must live with it. That said: there is no particular test that can be done on iPAQ for memory consumption that can't be done on any other host, just monitor how many memory need your application and see if the ipaq ram is enough. Anyway, dpkg memory problem IIRC isn't really related to dpkg itself but to the size of the package database. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli - undergraduate student of CS @ Uni.
