Hmmm. Kernel is 2.2.4 (must upgrade some time) and it ain't working Jim!! Will
try the append bit... *sigh*

Ummm. What's the best way of finding out how much RAM Linux is using? I just
catted /proc/meminfo and got the following:
        total:    used:    free:  shared: buffers:  cached:
Mem:  65388544 29347840 36040704 19116032  1187840 19701760
Swap: 133885952        0 133885952
MemTotal:     63856 kB
MemFree:      35196 kB
MemShared:    18668 kB
Buffers:       1160 kB
Cached:       19240 kB
SwapTotal:   130748 kB
SwapFree:    130748 kB

"top" also says 64Meg...
