[Solved] Why Does Kiosk Need More RAM Than Desktop?

Post#1 by johnywhy » 30 Mar 2017, 06:08

hi

i installed both Desktop and Kiosk.
Desktop seems to run much faster than Kiosk.
Kiosk is slow as molasses.

Why would that be?

i'm giving kiosk 750 MB RAM and 2 GB harddrive.

thx

Another reason may be that kiosk has copy2ram forced while in Desktop its optional.

Sorry for late reply.

This is not possible. We need to copy entire system to RAM so we are able to burn new ISO in place of old one when doing reconfiguration/upgrade.
