Hi Raju,

I just want to point out the following:

[root@matrix /root]# cat /proc/meminfo
        total:    used:    free:  shared: buffers:  cached:
Mem:  15040512 13811712  1228800  4845568   655360  8978432

MemTotal:     14688 kB

[root@matrix /root]# ls -l /proc/kcore | awk '{print $5}'
16781312

[root@matrix /root]# cat /dev/mem | wc -c
16777216

[root@matrix /root]# bc
bc 1.05
1024*1024*16
16777216

Given my machine has 16MB of RAM, where does this difference come from?
Any ideas if this difference could be larger (large enuf to make a
difference in our (mental) calculation) under some particular
conditions???

Regards,
Narain.
