Re: [Sheflug] c++ & mem

Hi ya Alex.

The memory problem is now sorted by adding in the lilo that the memory is
128M, because when the free command was called it said that it only had 65M.
Not sure why it did not realise that there was more?, but anyway, also that
c/c++ is also sorted since I was not using the working directory. doh!.

Thanks
Ian

*positive* it thinks you have 65Mb?? That doesn't sound likely to me! Post
the output of 'free' if you are able.
