Advance NetWare/86 Version 2.0
Memory Requirements
The NetWare/86 2.0 Installation Manual states on page 4-60 the
following:
"A personal computer to be used as a non-dedicated file server
MUST have 640K of memory. Of this amount, 384 will be used
for the NetWare /86 operating system."
It should be noted that this is only the bare minimum that the
operating system will run under. Anything less than this will cause
the error message "NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO SUPPORT OS." 384K
of RAM could support a single 10 meg drive if all system parameters
were set to the absolute minimums.
When the booting up your OS with any configuration and memory
errors occur, it may be necessary to increase the memory parameter.
This should be done in increments of 16K.
All condititons can effect memory and it may be necessary to make
other adjustments. The following guidelines will help in conserving
precious memory:
1.Each file handle configured will use 40 bytes. Only configure for
handles that will be used.
2.Do not make directory sizes any larger than needed. Directory
entries will use memory for hashing and caching even though
they are not being used. Directory sizes can be increase if
needed later.
3.If you wish to use large drives on your system, it is advisable
to run a dedicated server.
4.Caching may be disabled if constraints do not require it. There
will be some decrease in performance.
