What's the difference between the slacko iso downloads? I thought the PAE iso required 4gb of memory, but the other iso is named 4G iso. So I'm confused. |

hey john the pae version allows more than 3gb to be addressed, so if you have 8gig ram then using pae would see ALL of it however, the footprint of puppy is so small I would worry too much I have a laptop with 4gig which is visible as I'm using fatdog64 but with the os loaded to ram, browser with 11 tabs open 2 of which are streaming video I've still over a gig free

If you have 4Gb of memory and want to see all of it used, than go with the PAE kernel. The Iso labelled as 4Gb is miss leading, because it will not see 4Gb of memory, but somewhat less, to the tune of 300 to 500Mbs. duke |

4gb in the name means '4gb max'

I think the 4G Puppy is just Puppy with the standard 32-bit Linux kernel and I believe the it will run fine in a computer with more than 4 GB of RAM, it just won't use more than about 3.4 GB of however much RAM there is. Anyway that was my experience with 32-bit Puppy after I put 4 GB of RAM in my computer. |

In the kernel configuration there can be chosen one of these three SYMBOLS: (kernel 3.4.9
Symbol: NOHIGHMEM If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default choice and suitable for most users). 
Symbol: HIGHMEM4G Select this if you have a 32-bit processor and between 1 and 4 gigabytes of physical RAM. Symbol: HIGHMEM64G Select this if you have a 32-bit processor and more than 4 gigabytes of physical RAM. |
