- Hey ya'll!
-
- I've got a problem. I recently got the WB2.1 kit, upgrading my A500 from
- 1.2 to 2.1. Now, back when I had 1.2 installed, I would get around 853K free
- on the system after doing a minimal boot. I pretty much just Mounted my HD,
- did a loadwb, and a endcli. Everything worked OK back then and I actually
- had some RAm to play with. My system only has 1 Meg (512 chip/ 512 fast).
-
- Now that I've got 2.1 installed I only have about 700K left! What gives? I did
- a full normal installation, using C= original Startup-sequence. The only thing
- I changed in it was that I made a couple of assignments to the various system
- drawers on my Hard Drive so I can do a faster boot from it (my HD controller is
- non-autobooting.) This is nothing all that special.
-
- I guess what I'm asking is: What can I kill from WB to free up some RAM? I
- don't use ARexx, only run a non-interlaced 4 color WB (although I'd like to go
- to interlaced for more room on the screen), and don't use commodities that
- much. I've been leaving my external floppy turned off to save a little, and
- I've tried to cut down on some of the other stuff. But, one of the biggest
- reasons I got 2.1 was cause it looked so much nicer than 1.x with the
- screen and window backdrops, etc. Now, that I have it, I'm beginning to
- wonder if it was wother the $104 I paid for the kit.
-
- Help Please!!!!
