JSI Tip 2234. How do I limit the amount of RAM seen at installation?

When installing Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, you can limit the amount of RAM seen during installation.

You must copy the I386 folder to your disk or distribution share, for this procedure to work.

Edit the Txtsetup.sif file and modify the \[SetupData\] section:

\[SetupData\]
OsLoadOptions = "/nodebug /maxmem=32"
OsLoadOptionsVAR = "/maxmem=32"

NOTE: Windows 2000 requires a minimum setting of 64.

NOTE: After the installation, you can remove the /maxmen switch from boot.ini.
