The amount of memory is dynamic, i.e. it gets allocated as programs
need it. There's a maximum amount that Elate will use, though. The
default is 64MB, but can be overridden with Elate's -X option. E.g., to
raise the maximum to 96MB, i.e. 98304, one would use "-X 98304". For
128Mb, it'd be "-X 131072".
Unfortunately, the current wrapper scripts do not make use of -X. So
you should create a new script like this:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/lib/elate/elate -l /usr/lib/elate -B /usr/lib/elate/f15.img -X 98304
*DON'T EDIT THE WRAPPER SCRIPTS THAT WERE INSTALLED*. Edit a copy of
them. Or, if you really have to hack them, keep a backup of the original
files. Otherwise _you might have problems with updates/upgrades_. Same
with other files.
Next update will address this in a clean fashion. :)
