I would disagree if this were a NetBSD list ;) But since it isn't, you basically might be right. A bigger matter is the working set of the bunzip2 process, I think it's always at least 3-4 megs while uncompressing. But then again, this isn't NetBSD, which you would want to run on "obsolete" hardware (like an old, slow VAX with 8 megs RAM, for example). ;) -- Matthias Buelow home: mkb/at/mukappabeta.de uni: mkb/at/informatik.uni-wuerzburg.deReceived on Wed May 07 2003 - 11:15:29 UTC
