I had top kill my 1.4Z once a couple of weeks ago. I'm doing a
kernel recompile on the machine and I wanted to see what top's listing
looks like when you have 2.5 megs of memory left over after the kernel
is loaded and initialized (8 meg 486SX). 

I didn't try to get a repeat. The machine is slow enough without
me crashing it in the middle of a compile. 

It's a shame I lost count of the number of weeks this build has been
going. BTW, does anybody know where I can get jumper settings for
my AMD-powered SiS 85c417 B/E/G (socket 3) board? Or at least a
heat sink clip for a socket 3 heat sink?
