OK. That helped a lot. X still doesn't work, but the system is much
more responsive. I am going to experiment and see how much RAM is too
much. Now the big question (other than how to get X running) is "how
can I make it use all the RAM well. I assume this is a kernel config,
but I cannot find a "increase RAM usage" option. Any ideas are once
again appreciated
