I only have 8 MB of RAM on my little 486-DX4 100 box. I noticed first when I used netscape in X. It started swapping heavily after I made this 2.1.43 kernel. So, I quickly got out of there and did free. I get about only 350-512K of free memmory left after a boot. I cant remember how much it was before this kernel, but I believe it was over 1K. How could I get this thing to use less of that valuable resource known as RAM. I am only 16 and cant afford a RAM upgrade. Plus, I would rather get knee deep in the kernel to fix things. :)

Knight, seeing what the student was doing spoke sternly: "You can not fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong." Knight turned the machine off and on. The machine worked. ------------------------=(www.intop.net/~enigma/)=-------------------
