We have already less user address space because of the kernel mapping in the upper 1GB....you wont be able to run large processes if u reduce it further.... offcource if you know that your system is not going to have processes larger than 2GB and you have more than 896MB of physical memory, you can configure it to be 2/2GB. -- Vivek Kutal -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
