This is strange, because 3 different users[*] told me that the 2.4 kernel was OK for me. And according to the 2.4 vm.txt documentation, setting the overcommit_memory flag to 0 in the 2.4 kernel should be sufficient (otherwise the documentation is plainly wrong). [*] Msgid <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for the first two, and in a private forum for the last one (and this one said that this was working in the past with an official 2.4 kernel, i.e. non-patched). -- Vincent Lef�vre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn / RISC OS / ARM, free software, YP17, Championnat International des Jeux Math�matiques et Logiques, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
