The BIOS shadow was disabled as I use the motherboard with SCO
Unix.
I have been trying another motherboard and have seen strange effects.
After installing the full CDROM system and booting it, I have tried to
enlarge the shell window it creates when you boot as "tor" but the system
simply hasn't done it. It happened in fact when I was trying the
four-diskette set vefore receiving the CDROM, but I thought it was a
memory problem, as the "swap" command isn't present in the diskettes.
After happening that, I have executed the swap comand giving /dev/sd0swap
as the argument, but the system continued to fail to enlarge the window.
Starting other programs such as mothra gave "Not enough bitmap
memory..." (more or less, I haven't written down the messages, sorry).
If I opened another shell window, the menu for the button three appeared
garbled with the background.
Do you think it's an incompatibility with the motherboard? Or is
it just a small swap partition? ( I have the default 10 MB partition).
Is there an easy way of setting up a bigger swap partition before
installing the CDROM? I have set up manually a partition table with a
40 MB swap partition, but the CDROM installation has overwritten it.
Thank you very much,
Borja.
