    How to prevent Knoppix from reporting insufficient RAM?

    Hi There,

    I am using Knoppix for a quiet server/controller PC working in TXT mode only (runlevel 3).
    The problem I have is that I have only 48MB RAM and every time I boot, Knoppix complains about it and asks for confirmation (need to press Enter). This is not acceptable for me since I need to have the machine boot up automatically after any power failure.
    So, the question: is there any cheat-code or any other way to prevent this message from appearing or going over it after a timeout (I waited for 1 minute and it didn't time-out, so I assume it waits for Enter)?

    Thanks for any hint

    as it is a server i assume a hddinstall.
    create a swapfile or a swap partition and add it to /etc/fstab
    you might try to boot in text only mode, that wil reduce the amount of ram needed.
    hmm perhaps never start a few things not needed (like auomounter and so).

    Well, actually it is not a classic server. It is supposed to run without any HD. I know very well that, when I have any HD with a swap partition, Knoppix will simply use it without any complaints. That is fine. But I do not have the HD and still want the PC to boot completely without my intervention. Is it possible?
