Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 68)

IMPORTANT The RAM disk is a portion of your computer’s random-access
memory that you can set aside to store programs and other files temporarily.
If you turn on both virtual memory and the RAM disk in the Memory control
panel (in the Control Panels folder in the Apple [K] menu), don’t set both of
them at or near their maximum values. Doing so can result in unpredictable
or reduced performance.
For more information on both the virtual memory and RAM disk features,
see the “Memory” topic area of Macintosh Guide, available from the
Guide (h) menu.
Removing software that you may not need
If you have previously installed some or all of the software in the Apple
Extras folder you can remove or “uninstall” the software if you are not
using it. Removing software like this may make more memory available for
running applications and it will also increase the amount of hard disk
storage space available.
To remove software, follow these steps:
1 Start up your computer from the system software CD-ROM disc that came with
your computer.
For detailed steps, see “Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” under
“Initializing a Hard Disk” in Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting.”
2 Open the Apple Extras folder on the CD-ROM disc.
3 Open the folder for the software you want to remove.
4 Double-click the Installer icon to open the Installer program.
The Installer’s Welcome screen may appear.
5 Click OK.
The Easy Install dialog box appears.
