It's impossible.<br />You can use the additional RAM by installing a RAM-Disc, though.<br /><br />I checked out the Snowlinux website and you can choose Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-15516070917325028912012-11-15T09:53:48.895-08:002012-11-15T09:53:48.895-08:00Actually the clock and CPU meters come with the Ca...Actually the clock and CPU meters come with the Cairo dock theme only - I guess I chose the Mac theme. <br />Yes, it is strikingly similar to mint.

I assume you are using Cairo as your dock because I see it listed in your menu. The background is a nice choice, as well.
