I have set up my dos prompt to be windows within the PIF setup. I have 4M using a 486 33MHz. I have about 12M of swap space set up. Why why why why does the machine hang for abominably long periods when I try to do average commands like copy/del etc. I have done the same on a little compaq/386 and there was no problem?
