You did well to get the install to run with just 96Meg - The minimum recommended memory is usually 128M for the BDI-4 series. I should warn you though, a 166MHz processor is going to be painfully slow with KDE, and even with one of the lightweight window managers, EMC's performance is going to be disappointing.. -- From the Klingon book of C: Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.
