Warning Messages

A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and prompts you to
respond before the system continues a task. For example, before you format a
diskette, a message will warn you that you may lose all data on the diskette.
Warning messages usually interrupt the task and require you to respond by
typing y (yes) or n (no).

NOTE:

Warning messages are generated by either the application or the operating

system. For more information, see the documentation that accompanied the
operating system or application.

current memory

configuration is

legal but non-optimal
population of DIMMs (for
