If you're doing it under AES and with Toswin2, keep in mind that you'll
have only 10 megs (from stating 14MB) left. Just kernel, AES, decent
desktop and Toswin2 will eat lots of ram.

Before I got CT60 my solution was to run only kernel and bash
(INIT=u:/bin/bash) and I was able to compile pretty demanding things
(like FreeMiNT kernel for example).

IMHO, the biggest problem in AES environment is not the memory ammount,
but fragmentation, Mikro, whats with your VM project?
