How do I go about freeing up memory? My machine has
20Mb RAM and is running Caldera's OpenLinux 2.3 with
kernel 2.2.10.
Here is a general picture of when I type 'free':
THIS IS WHILE RUNNING KDE.
Numbers for 'memory'
total: 18800
used: 18388
free: 412
shared: 20396
buffers: 1704
cached: 7076
Numbers for 'buffers/cache'
used: 9608
free: 9192
Numbers for 'swap'
total: 61956 (60mb)
used: 6652
free: 55304
Also, I load linux with LOADLIN because I have to load
a DOS Driver to use my sound card, can I free up the
memory that DOS uses?, or is that done automatically
at bootup? I've already tried limiting the number of
virtual consoles in my 'inittab,' but that didn't
help. Would disabling some deamons help a lot?
Any help is appreciated:
