- Venix 1.0 has an extremely low limit of hard disk size that it will
- recognize. I don't know what that limit is but it is somewhere in the
- range of 10-20 Mb. Venix 2.0 will recognize a maximum of 32 Mb. In
- order to get more hd space you have to add another drive. I tried
- partitioning a drive on a Rainbow to two logical drives and venix
- overwrote the partitioning. I don't know how to partition a large
- drive so venix will see it as multiple drives. Someone mentioned once
- that he modified the venix kernal but 2 years later when I obtained
- a copy of venix and sent him a message, he had forgotten what he did.
