Yes, but ,e.g., HP-UX (a 'doubtful' OS on almost any other side, IMHO) there is a nice command 'mem' which tells you just how much RAM you have. Hm, I think digging in the kernel-sources would bring-up a syscall for that somehow (don't ask me). At boot-time, the RAM ist counted/detected, so there's a routine for that. One just needed to write a little C-prog around that call..... Hm, maybe this is not the best topic to discuss on a _newbie_ list..... cheers, Rainer -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Rainer Duffner, E-Mail: duffner@fh-konstanz.de | | & Rainer.Duffner@konstanz.netsurf.de | |Fachhochschule Konstanz, Germany | |"What's a Network ?" - Bill Gates, early 1980s | | WWW:http://www-stud.fh-konstanz.de/~duffner | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
