A very poor friend gave me his Packard Bell Celeron 366 & 64M of RAM to "fix". The originally planned fix was the usual one, reinstall doze 98 to get rid of the junkware, trojans, spyware & virii. Once I got that done, I talked him into converting to multiboot with Linux. He said OK, but only afterward did I think about the limited RAM problem. I stuck in another 32M stick & tried to do an FTP 9.1 install. After about 10 hours of errors and only 15% complete due to excess swap churning, I stole a 128M stick out of another machine to retry the install, and that is now finished. Now I need to pull my 128M back out (and my NIC). I can let him keep my 32M stick, for an installed total of 96M. He'll be on dialup only. So, I can reduce overhead by disabling at least some portion of the network, but how do I do that? If I use runlevel editor to disable network in 3 & 5, will dialup still work? What else can I uninstall or disable to ease the pain of only 96M of RAM (until he can get more, if he can at all)? Is there some HOWTO that covers this (if so, where)? -- "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." Psalm 33:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
