However the output is a little confusing, /var/run/dmesg.boot shows this: real memory = 134217728 (128 MB) however muse shows this: Active: 42393600 Bytes Inactive: 2424832 Bytes Wired: 37715968 Bytes Reserved: 499712 Bytes Cache: 0 Bytes Buffer: 23166976 Bytes Total: 127639552 Bytes Free: 43548672 Bytes where the total works out to 121.7M. What might be the reason for this discrepancy? Dave
