Southard) Distribution: world Organization: Calfornia Institute of Technology Lines: 14 I have lots (7 Meg) of memory and would like to reconfigure my kernel to take advantage of it - the default kernel only has 100K of buffer space. I am sure that, if I had a properley configured kernel I would see a fairly large speed increase. The system I'm on is an AT running IBM Xenix 2.00 (Sys V). I tried to use the config command, but I must be real confused about it, because it spewed at me when I fed it what seemed to be a perfectly reasonable config file. Has anyone done this before and would you be willing to assist? While I'm at it, does anyone have any suggestions as to what numbers I should use for the various tunable parameters to get the most out of my machine? My cat can quack, can yours? genghis!sns@csvax.Caltech.Edu
