Yes, it will run in only 4 MB - as long as you allocate *some* swap
space for it to use, to increase virtual memory.  I would aim for at
least at least 16MB (playing it safe) - it installs and runs on my
system, with 8MB real RAM and ~10MB swap space...

You can either follow the instructions in the Yggdrasil manual to set
up a Linux swap partition, or follow either advice on this newsgroup
for using Windows swap space as Linux swap space, too.

Fall 94 And Just 4Mb Ram

Post by Giuseppe Santonocit » Sun, 23 Oct 1994 03:54:26


Hi there.

I recently purchased Fall '94 Plug and Play Linux from Yggdrasil.
I knew from some ads that it runs with just 4MB of memory, but I
was not able to complete the "install" script, getting an "Out
of virtual memory". Does Fall '94 edition run with just 4MB or not ?

Thank you in advance.



 
 
 

1. Yggdrasil Summer 94 to Fall 94 upgrade -- HOW TO???

I have Yggdrasil's Summer 94 running on my 486DX-33 *without* the CD-ROM
(who was asking?) after long hours of setup and fixing problems.
I got the Fall 94 edition CD with X11R6 and so on.

But I can't find any HOW TO upgrade this thing.  I am afraid of loosing all
my setup (parameter files etc) and I have no decent means to backup the whole
system (I am not sure if saving /etc and /usr/etc would suffice).

I have alread looked at ftp.yggdrasil.com and there is nothing about it.
No bookstore here has got the Second Edition Bible and I coudn't see anything
about version upgrade in the announcement.

Does anybody know how to do this?  Have you acctually done that?

I am sure I am not the only one with this problem, so please post what you know.

Thanks a lot.
