- Memory usage on a 1Mb ST is a real stink...

- I suppose you mean the memory sizes for cpp/cem/as/ld, and not chmem?
- I Think some 220Kb for cem is usually sufficient.
- Since you have a harddisk, you could try the following:
- - Usual hd setup I used is 1 small root partition (1Mb~2Mb),
- and the rest for /usr.
- - I understand from your description you haven't successfully
- recompiled Minix at all yet, but you should be able to use
- the harddisk. Setup the big partition as /usr, and leave the small
- one empty, mounting it as /tmp
- - THROW OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FROM YOUR RAM DISK.
- Try to reduce it to something like 200Kb or less.
- - Now you should have enough ram for the recompilation.

- - way back.... 400Kb for the RAM disk is too much anyway.

- - I don't understand this remark.. sorry.
