Re: how much memory can ELKS support?
Hi Rigoo I would think you would be better off using the main linux source which can be made to work on an embedded 386sx and will make use of the paging tables etc in protected mode, something that is not need on 8086 targets.

All I know is that ELKS works within the real mode of all 80X86 processors. Hey guys, correct me if I am wrong! leosam

how much memory can ELKS support?
Hello everyone I want to use ELKS on my miniboard ( 386sx, 4M ram, 8M flash), but I am not sure that ELKS support 4M memory, because ELKS is designd for 8086, and 8086 only support 1M memory, Any information on this matter is going to be greatly appreciated.
