Um, /proc/meminfo doesn't say how much the kernel is using (well, not directly, anyway -- you can derive it by subtracting how much RAM is in your system from the 'MemTotal' portion). Why do you think it's using 50M? Sure -you- aren't using it? -- CueCat decoder .signature by Larry Wall: #!/usr/bin/perl -n printf "Serial: %s Type: %s Code: %s\n", map { tr/a-zA-Z0-9+-/ -_/; $_ = unpack 'u', chr(32 + length()*3/4) . $_; s/\0+$//; $_ ^= "C" x length; } /\.([^.]+)/g;
