Hi,
> Many thanks for that, I'll try putting it into practice.
BTW, i did this on a Portege 300CT which could take a maximum of 64MB
RAM. The system ran very well with those 64MB and still ran ok when the
secondary 32MB module broke down.
What you could also do to save some mem in X...
- use pure GTK, not GNOME, you will still get things like AbiWord,
Firefox and Gnumeric running
- go through your bootup scripts and kick out what you don't need, like
httpd, samba and such stuff
- i guess you have to have devfs and sysfs in RAM nowadays, but you can
make sure that /tmp and /var to reside on your harddisk
Andr=E9.
