That's right, and as I remember, you could buy and install Qemm to squeeze the most out of your lower 640KB of memory. There were problems with memory management, especially in loading device drivers, and it was all rather messy. I'm glad that DOS is a distant memory for me now. If there are people who still find it useful, that's fine, but Linux is just so much better. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
