From: bell@mari.acc.stolaf.edu (David E Bell) Subject: startcons?, prove swap?, prove ram sizes?? Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1993 15:12:27 GMT
hi Linuxers,
at first thanks for all the mknod replies... now my
system is running again !!
some short questions today:
what is the nice program >startcons< for ??
I couldn't find any use exept it makes a nice
colored screen.
swap: I made a 4mb swap partition, how can I find
out that it is actually supporting my ram ??
i.e. how do I find out the whole ram or/and
the free ram at any time ??
the only idea that the swap is used comes from
the impossibility to umount it
(it's active !!)
is there any possibility to umount it though ??
(I would like to check differences in the
performance with/without the swap...)
thanks for any ideas
tom
