- First of all, thanks to all the people who responded to my question about
- running X with 4 megs RAM!
-
- So far as I can tell, something is happening to a fair chunk of the memory
- on my machine when I run under Linux. I just tried to compile NetHack, and
- get out of memory errors...with a six meg swap partition active! Something
- is wrong here...
-
- Is there a way that I can check how much available memory I have? The Linux
- equivilent of DOS mem?
-
- Anyone have any idea on where my memory is going? I'm using the latest SLS
- distribution.
-
- Thanks again!
