You should do nothing except adding a large swap file or partition. Unused processes automatically go to swap and don't affect the system. Also, the amount of free memory reported by "top" or "free" is not completely accurate. For freeing disk caches, run the following commands: sync echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches sync After this, you will get 13 MB of free memory (for r2130), but it will become used again soon (so you have to repeat the command manually after some time). As for the openvt, this is part of the command. Read "man openvt" - the command runs the "livecd-login" program on the specified virtual terminal. You should comment out the entire line from inittab if you want, but, as explained above, this gains practically nothing. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
