Hi Kurt.

Hint: My patch does NOT use ONE FIXED VALUE as you appear to have
assumed, but a value selected by running whichever config script you
prefer...

I only have 128M myself, and can't test the changes easily as a
result. That's why I only posted the script "for testing" to the
linux-kernel mailing list, not as a proven patch that can definately
be inserted in the kernel.

I will also add that of the dozen or so replies I've received so far,
yours is the ONLY one stating that a patch such as mine can't possibly
work, and some of the ones stating that it can work with a little more
polishing are people whose programming abilities I rate highly, so I'm
afriad I have to assume that you're talking about something you know
little (if anything) about, and rate your comments accordingly...

Best wishes from Riley.
