I am trying to run UBCD on a 366MHz Intel Celeron with 128 MB of ram. Everything starts up fine, but then AutoRamResizer makes the ramdisk only 21MB. That is not a large enough ramdisk to run antivirus, web browser, Ad-aware or most anything else I tried. Is there any way to change the size of the ramdisk after booting up? Thanks in advance.
:Edit
I forgot to mention that the UBCD build is 2.5

128 System memory is pretty much the lowest you can use on a system. When I started this project I wanted it to boot on any system, however reality set in after a few months. In order to have a robust set of tools, etc. more memory would be required.
This issue has been brought up several times in the past month.....I have to figure out a solution. Other than telling users to disable the "autoramdrivesizer" plugin.

I too have this same problem on certain older computers. Occasionally it will happen on a computer that has 256mb of memory. Auto resizer makes a 20mb ram disk.
What is the benifit of running the autoramdisksizer program?
couldn't you change the startup command to run autoramresizer with the command line switch of -l 32
From what I'm reading this should give the ramdrive a minimum size of 32mb which should be enough for the virus scanners and webbrowsers. I guess the drwaback would be a hit in WindowsPE performance, but I would rather have a web browser and/or virus scanner that ran slowly then not at all.
Of course when I try to run autoramresizer.exe -l 32 now, it doesn't work is this a plugin that only works during startup?

Yes it is loaded at startup. I will check into it. I never really checked the switches for the program, so I will have to try.
