Nio,

Thank you for your suggestion! Worked like a charm.

By the way, reducing RAM size by changing boot arguments is also a good
suggestion for those that do not want to keep removing RAM sticks to
emulate a low RAM machine.

Once I did not know that was possible, I'll leave 2 links for reference of
the other testers:

and

Best regards,
Iberê
