X on 16MB RAM laptop?
I am trying to run X11 on a laptop with 16MB RAM and a 128MB swap file, but whenever I start KNOPPIX, /etc/init.d/xsession says that I need at least 16MB of RAM to run X Windows. When Knoppix starts, it says that there is 13384KB of ram detected, but when the system is starting up the BIOS says that there is 16000KB of ram. I'm guessing that the difference is taken up by SYSLINUX and the various programs etc, so is there a way to transfer the infomation in ram to the swap file, so I can run X?
