Spoken too fast. After rm -rf kernel tree, tar xvf it, and patching, I have: (0)pern:~% free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 62900 59048 3852 13092 4120 41672 -/+ buffers/cache: 13256 49644 Swap: 128484 7604 120880
and the buffer cache is *really* persistent (I start netscape and it is swapping like mad).
Bye, Romano
