Never send mail just to me. I don't know all the answers. This isn't tech support from a company. This is a mailling list.

Doesn't that > mean you need at least 5 megs of RAM, period? No. The install program needs the memory, but the regular system can work in the smaller memory. That doesn't mean that you'd be happy with the speed. I actually have a 486 DX/2 50 (I think) with 8 meg of ram, running at home as a gateway. Ethernet to user ppp. Works great. But I wouldn't use it as a desktop. -- ``If Lincoln were alive today, he'd be rolling over in his grave.'' President Gerald Ford.
