need it I realise I don't know how to release the memory used. Can't
find any reference to this anywhere. Can anyone advise?

Earlier this evening I uncompressed a bootdisk image into /dev/ram.
Now I realise that I don't know how to free up the 4mb that it
consumed. Can anyone help?
Be nice, I'm trying to squeeze Slackware onto a T1910 with just 4mb RAM
and 200mb of disk space.

According to the Yancheng Evening News, an official Chinese newspaper,
Windows 2000 has been banned from government computers. Apparently they
want to stimulate their own software industry. The article said that
the government would be using a new OS called "Red Flag Linux".

essentially IDE devices, like CDROMS. Mine is the slave on IDE2, so

I had a look at Gnome at the beginning of the year and thought it was
too buggy to bother with. Since upgrading to 6.1 the other week I
thought I'd check it out again. It's a lot more stable but I was
