   Good to know! I haven't tried a USB install yet, so I'll make note of   
   that.

   I forget what my main system has, but it's way more than enough for   
   OS/2 needs. I think it might be 16gb and I have 8gb ramdrive or maybe   
   it's 8gb with a 4gb ramdrive. Eitherway, the machine is hardly ever   
   sluggish. Except when I open up Firefox, that can take a few more   
   seconds than usual.

    I have 2 old IBM Thinkpads that I have Arca installed on as backups   
   for my BBS machine. And it runs great on them. They are just basic   
   installs of 5.0.3 I think, and if the BBS hardware ever fails, I can   
   unzip the backup on one of the Thinkpads and be back running fairly   
   quick.
