- That's all? The kernel and news? Geez. I have 8M RAM on a 386DX-33, and almost
- always have all four VC's going. I think the biggest job I undertook was
- compiling the kernel (0.97-pl1) and Elm2.3 (from Mailpak-1.2) while dialed out
- to my Internet host downloading stuff and editing the files to make Elm
- compile. It was an interesting day, I gotta tell you. :-)
