- If I look at the OS/2 directory on my 386/33 w/ 16 megs of ram, du reports
- that I am using 22,200k of ram for OS + swap file. Yes, I have full DOS
- and Windows support installed. I just trimmed out alot of the applets
- that I don't use. Even if I had a 8 meg swap file (it is at 1 meg now),
- I would still be under the 30 meg limit. I think that this represents a
- minimal install for full support of all platforms but it is still a
- perfectly legit install that meets your classifications.
