Humm, ahh, sorry the previous mail should have stated that vmstat has the wrong memory size. It fails to include the memory used by the kernel. The swap size has always been correct, AFAIK. A few notes to anyone who cares. Matthew Grant is now hosting hurd.dyndns.org and the website is back up. I'll be away for a couple weeks, but I would gladly take patches for PPtop, especially documentation and translations which I'll include in the next release. ===== James Morrison University of Waterloo Computer Science - Digital Hardware 2A co-op http://hurd.dyndns.org Anyone referring to this as 'Open Source' shall be eaten by a GNU __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
