Subject: Re: [newbie] LILO question
specify in a .pif file (program properties), so taht when the game is
run,
it reboots to dos mode, specifcy a custom autoexec/config.sys, with
nothing
in them, and voila - no need for a dos partion for your situation ...
Even with a stripped-down config.sys, Windows seems to have its icy grip
on memory. I had more conventional memory with DOS 6 and Windows 3.1
than I do now with DOS 7/Windows 95.
have you had a look at the shutdown to dos mode? with a specified
config/autoexec, you can actually reclaim a fair chunk of memory, with about
40k being used for command.com, and without EMM386/IFSHLP.SYS and HIMEM.SYS,
you've probably got the best you're going to get with as little effort as
possible.
(even though we're technically off-topic) =]
We're talking about a use for LILO, aren't we?
*grin* you wouldn't have a closet interest in politics or law would you???
