Hi,

It works if ls -l doesn't core dump :-)  top should also look
right as well.  Those are my two "smoke test" programs since 
ls -l uses floating point in printf for formatting and top
uses the math library.

Since I'm unfamiliar with this, maybe you could just send me
a kernel config file and I'll build that?  Let's call it something
other than SMALLRAM. That might be easiest.

I think I see where to build these.  Could you send me a config
file like INSTALL or INSTALLSBC which I can build as well?

Thanks!
