But why doubling it instead of successively increasing? My notebook has 5 MB, and the last private 2.1-snap installed fine. (Don't assume there ain't wierd memory sizes, 4 MB is 4x256K + 4x1M; i've got another box with 6 MB around. 8 MB is not necessarily the next logical step above 4 MB.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
