Message-ID: <NOP.92Aug2154901@theory.Mankato.MSUS.EDU> From: nop@theory.Mankato.MSUS.EDU (Jay A. Carlson) Date: 2 Aug 92 15:49:01 Organization: Mankato State University Nntp-Posting-Host: theory.cs.mankato.msus.edu Lines: 14 Is the source to the install program on the Tiny 386BSD disk available anywhere? I'd like to make a version that installs 10M of swap instead of 5M, since on the machines I use, 386BSD sorta falls over dead when it reaches the limit of swap space. I manually installed a 10M swap partition on one machine, and things were much improved. I can't say I'd like to repeat the process for the ~20 machines I need to install on, though. Has anyone else seen this swapping behavior, BTW? It's really annoying to effectively lock up a machine by accidentally starting gcc while an Emacs image is in memory.
