How much mem is needed to run it??- hopefully not
like WindosXp with 128MB
Did you by any chance notice, the first time you installed at tcp/ip stack like Miami, that all of yar 2 mb chipmem seemed to disappear somewhere, leaving you with like 150kb left to run a textbrowser such as Lynx? You know that's what happens, when things (as in computers and their functions) evolve and get even more advanced. They consume more resources and that is completely normal if you wan't to do more stuff with 'em.

No 'modern' OS that would perfom efficiently with Just 4MB of RAM

well said. unless you enjoy null-modem networks (oh man, the transfer speeds are brutal!) or like to have a desktop with fewer colors (like 8 color desktop) coz more bitplanes eat more memory. That's just the way it is!!!

Then there are OS:es such as windows. they like memory a lot. they eat it and do nothing of it. bloated code and so on... (bla bla)

Do remember: OS4 "needing" more memory than 3.1 is not a bad thing. That depends on what it should be able to do....
