Microsoft Windows 98 Swap Space and Environment Space

Microsoft Windows 98 requires a minimum of 768 Mbytes of swap space or virtual memory to run the Sun Management Center 3.5 console. 4096 bytes of environment space are required for the Microsoft Windows 98 and the Sun Management Center environment variables. If the swap space and environment space are not set correctly, Sun Management Center installation could fail and your machine could run out of environment space.
