I am trying to find out what cache size > I could use. base os + base x uses up about 10-12m ram. then u add WM and panels etc. so it depends what you want to do/replace. i think all the base is about is about 31m of ram as it stands (gtk+ base today, matchbox, mb-panel, mb-keyboard, lock-screen app when it pops up). so thats what is paged in and needed in ram other than buffers/cache. the rest is available (so lets say 90-95m) is what you'd get. mind u i am playing with a bit of gui fun that only uses 15-16m as a base (incuding x and base os)... :) -- Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
