Well, my PC had 64MB's of RAM, and it worked fine. I have no idea if it ever made use of it, and didn't test the MFS, but it booted OK. On the other hand, I had to take out 32MB's to get BSDI to load, something about supporting 64MB's ram would take a bit of reworking of some kernel data structures. I guess what annoyed me about BSD386 was that it didn't just ignore it, and use what it could... Oh well. -- Jaye Mathisen, COE Systems Manager (406) 994-4780 410 Roberts Hall,Dept. of Computer Science Montana State University,Bozeman MT 59717 osyjm@cs.montana.edu
