[SunRescue] Cooling in SS4/SS5/SS10?

While I am thinking of things... are there any cooling problem gotchas
in the SS4/SS5/SS10 boxes?

The Sol8 install completed fine.  Actually a pretty braindead install
compared to SunOS, the old fashioned way.  Startup was slow as molasses.

In Sol8, which is the preferred windowz environment, Openwindows or
CDE, and why one or the other?

Is there a way to bring root up in a cmdline environment rather than
a windowz environment?  It seems to default to CDE.  Old cmdline habits
die hard.

Shutdown is a bit kludgy, but seems to work.

It looks ok, generally, other than that.

Is 64mb or 80mb of ram sufficient to be happy, or should I try to find
sticks to load it up to 128mb or 256mb?

Are there any online pdf manuals for SS4, SS5 or SS10 machines that
I should dump to a printer?  FEH sheets might be nice to have handy.

That's about all I can think of, offhand.

Thanks all for your patience......

Bob
