Well, I popped in 2-8MB simms and its working fine.  I redug into the
installation guides on the CD, and on the website, and all I've ever
found was 5 to install, and 4 to run minimum.  Perhaps during hardware
probe a check could be implemented, and if there isn't enough to
install, an error message should display.  Just a thought.

Anyway, I appreciate the help, its working fine now.

Geoff
