Hello All

I changed the kernel on my Sparc IPC this morning and then noticed 
that the system was allocating RAM to a RAM Disk. I would like to
stop this but after a quick look at the init files I can not tell
what is causing it. Please inform me of the name etc of the prgram
that is starting the RAM disks. I am currently loosing 16 * 4096K of
memory. The kernel is 2.2.13 from Debian/binary-sparc/woody distribtion.

This system only has 200Meg HDD and 24Meg Ram, I have resisted the idea
of compiling my own kernel on this box.

Regards Glen
