Yes, we all know that of course. My question is, if I have several instances running, is there a separate process space for each or does anything get shared? I ask this because I sometimes run a few browsers, and memory seems to get eaten very quickly. Tim Anderson

Hello, Is there a way to read my current MBR, or is this the file mbr.b in /boot? I am not sure. I did not use LILO to configure my MBR but I used an external bootmaster (I think from Partition Magick). This is a strange type of file. Is there a way to make it more human readable?
