With TCP/IP enabled, there is RAM space for only a couple of extra processes (I can't remember the exact amount; I mean "extra" as appart from the minimal getty's, sh's and so on), so you can not even type "make", since if spawn some extra subprocesses (compiler, linker,...) and runs out of memory. Minix 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 are supposed to swap to disk, but are said to be too large to run on 640k. -- Javier Sedano Jarillo: javier.sedano@agora-2000.com Agora Systems, S.A.
