        Whenever compiling programs with GCC 2.5.7 from DJGPP ver 1.11m1,
the disk accesses almost continously. This is on a 20 MB RAM, 486/33 machine.
It seems that GCC wants to write everything to temp files while compiling the
object and while linking. Any way I can force it to use RAM and not the disk?
It also fails with QDPMI (QEMM ver 7.03) so it will only use VCPI.
I suppose I can substitute a RAM drive, but that's a kludge. Anyone else
have this problem?

        Thanks,
