Yep - 2.1.0 needs 5MB of RAM to install, but will run in 4MB once installed. If you can't borrow any for the installation, the latest snapshot of the development code has a boot floppy for 4MB systems. If you don't want to run development code, 2.0.5 will install in 4MB (I think someone on one of the mailing lists is setting up an archive FTP site for the older releases). -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland jraynard@dial.pipex.com james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
