As you seem to only have 470 kb free (ick), you could probably tweak that. I blindly assume that is due to other things (ASPI??). Yes, I've read the later emails, but I want to reiterate that "BUFFERS=4" (with UIDE already loaded) and "JEMMEX X=TEST I=TEST" are better. If you don't need EMS, you should also have JEMMEX say "NOEMS" to omit the page frame, which is approx. 64 kb in UMB, which could be used for better purposes. Lastly, I know this isn't much help, but I don't recommend LASTDRIVE=Z unless you really have a lot of drives. Otherwise, it's easier (and slightly more memory compact) to just use LASTDRIVE=E or LASTDRIVE=G or similar. You will have to change SHSUCDX and RDISK in your AUTOEXEC.BAT, of course, but it should save a little more RAM (though I doubt you need it here). If you do change things, please do tell us how much free RAM you get now. ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
