Message-ID: <24B521A8.8458@ateng.com> Date: 7 Jul 89 21:33:28 GMT Organization: A T Engineering, Tampa, FL Lines: 13 We thought we had this network thing figured out. Unfortunately, the IBM PC architecture came up and bit us in the behind. SCO TCP/IP works fine. SCO Xenix-Net works fine. Put them together in a 2.3 kernel and the kernel is too big to boot. Since the boot process runs in real mode, you can't have more than 640K of code+data in your kernel -- or so it appears, anyway. How can I boot a big kernel? Is there any way around this problem?
