Installed the 2.2.16-2linusmdk (or what it is named) and the problem is
still there..
As soon as I use rpm to install/uninstall a bit bigger package I run out of
memory. This seems weird to me as I have 256mb on the machine and about
200mb of this is free when I issue the command.. Anybody got any bright
ideas??
And while running the rpm the machine is VERY unresponsive.. this is a p-3
600 so I don't think it should behave this way.
