Hello,

Steve from the land of the free and home of the brave, apparently you
are also new to spelling.

ELKS requires 640 KB of RAM to run (the value is hardcoded at the moment
afaik). 256 KB is not 640 KB.

Hmm, the obvious solution would be to get a box that fits minimum
requirements - 8088 or fully compatible system with enough
'conventional' RAM, like 640 KB.
