i've just recently been given caretakership of an ancient novell
network, ver 2.15 286 enhanced.  most of the machines on the net are
old clones.  i've never worked on novell before so please be gentle.
also i'd class myself more as a poweruser than a programmer, so simple
is good. :)

my question is:
how do i make the best use of the alleged 2 megs of ram on the 286
machines?  we have several different brands of 286 clones.  and the
most frequent problem encountered is, "not enough memory to load/run
... blah".  what i need to know is the best ways to use the extra
memory, lectures on the distinction between expanded and extended and
the idiosyncrasies of the 286 and details on use of load high etc are
also welcome.  since this may seem obvious/obsolete to a lot of you
e-mail responses are encouraged.
thanx in advance,
chriss
