1) since the TAMU install uses a ramdisk, 4MB RAM is needed
for install, but is this mandatory afterward ?
(I only have 2MB, but could borrow 2MB more from a
friend to install with, then operate with just my 2MB)
*or could I use my other floppy to hold what the ram-disk would*
2) concerning the install, partitioning, and HD space...
the docs said 40MB needed for base & 65MB if X installed also...
CAN I add X later on a partition on .. say a 30MB scsi drive ?
All hints appreciated.
AMD 386sxl, AMI "flex-bios", 40MB IDE, 1.2MB & 1.44MB drives...
ST02 (no scsi drive yet), old async card, faxmodem card
The above is not an expression of anyone but myself.
