You should be aware that with only 4 Meg of RAM you may be doing quite a bit of swapping with X-windows running. This was my experience running ISC unix and X11R4 about a year ago. It ran unix fine but swapped continuously under X. I then upgraded to 8 Meg and have had no problems with either ISC or 386BSD swapping excessively. -- +------------------------+---------------------------+ | Gary Ward | Amdahl Corporation | | gpw10@cd.amdahl.com | 1250 East Arques Avenue | | Phone : (408)746-8865 | P.O.
