1. new machine configuration settings (see attached)
2. xlogin options -- do we pack the keys or not?
basically, I'm removing some broken options. They have function
key equivalents. should I change the function key mappings to
avoid gaps or not?
3. anything else?

Hi Jonathon,
Here's a question related to the swap space one I asked you when you were
over here a few weeks ago.
The issue is that SDRC Ideas makes very large machine-resource demands
that until now have been show-stoppers.
Naomi tells me that we may be getting new Suns with 128 meg of memory and
4 gig hard drives by Summer/Fall, and would like to know if they can be
configured to run Ideas.
As of now it needs:
at least 200 meg of swap space
shmmax of 16.2 meg or more (this can be achieved by making the
stack size, as reported by ulimit -a, be at least 12 meg (it's
8192 K on my workstation now)
So the question is- can we set these resources to at least these
values on the new machines to let us run Ideas? Note that they have a history
of increasing requirements steadily with new releases, so I'd advise making
these at least 50% more than what they require now; thus- is 300 meg swap,
and 18 meg stack, as reported by ulimit -a, doable?).
Thanks,
A.
