I don't know how you'd fit a ramdisk for Arachne on a system with 2 MB RAM, you
wouldn't even come close.
Now what browser might you run on a system with 2 MB RAM? Arachne on hard disk?
Or maybe Net-Tamer or DOSLYNX (with the pulldown menus)?
If you want to run Arachne from boot disk, where the boot-disk DOS version can't
read the fixed disk partition, and you fear overwriting a Win98 partition, you
can go to the CMOS and hide the hard drive. Then even if the ramdisk is
drive C:, it can't touch a hard disk not recognized in the BIOS. Then the
Arachne boot disk can be booted after making the changes in CMOS, and the user
can change the CMOS back to normal to get back into Windows. But there might
still be reluctance to serve as Arachne boot disk guinea pig.
