It's nearly on the air. I've managed to get the swap area increased (though
I wish the sa menus wouldn't replace /kernel/tower/cf/config.cf every time
they want to relink the OS...arrrgh), and have most of the software built.

There are a couple of things I'd like to change, though...namely the 1 meg
process maximum size and whatever the ulimit is set to. I'd ideally like to
remove both limits, or, failing that, at least st them to more reasonable
values (like 4 meg/process and a ulimit of at least 16 meg. Is this easy?

I've tried sticking a maxproc line in the config file, and the comment about
that being a Tower 32-specific feature in the config(1M) manpage is right:
while it changed a 0x100000 to a 0x400000 in /unix, the change had no effect,
at least as far as I could tell. The max process size reported at boot time
was 1 meg, and a dd if=/dev/rstp/0nn of=/tmp/foo bs=1024k complained about
running out of memory.

I haven't tried running into the ulimit yet explicitly, but it must be at
least 9 meg, since I've made a file that big...it doesn't appear to be
documented anywhere.

Thanks! I've gotten lots of help for this system, and all those who have
helped with sometimes dumb questions have made running cheap real Unix
possible for me.
