Nope, except that you have to reconfigure a special kernel when using more than 64 MB. The generic kernel will only use up to 64 MB. (Since that's the limit of the CMOS cell holding the RAM size.) Of course, you might also want to bump your `maxusers' option, so the new kernel will allow for much more resource usage. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
