Ok, for the memory problem, I found the solution ...
I have misconfigured the rc.conf file ...
There were still oss drivers and the alsamixer daemon, by putting a "!" in front of thoses modules / daemon and rebooting, it seems to work properly, well I can say the memory is freeing itself back to normal ...
I'm still digging into the network problem on my "testing" box :)

The memory appears used, but most likely it is going into cache. If
you dont have a slowdown and swap isnt being used, I wouldnt be too
concerned.

I don't think FF 1.5 take 1GB of RAM also if it is closed. It's much a
problem of freeing memory. Anyway thanx for the answer.
The RAM problem isn't problebamtic as the network problem !
- I've lot of mates around that can't use the FTP install on 0.7.1 but
that didn't seems to scare anybody ...
- I've no solution fr my testing install of arch ... that can't access
network anymore ! Hopefully I don't work on it ! And Hopfully I have a
"current" arch install next to testing so I can chroot from current to
testing in order to upgrade it ...
The two network problems look the same : no network ( eth0 is down ), if
I modprobe the module needed by the network card and then configure it
or restart the network , it doesn't work either !
I hope I have an answer to this and/or it will be fixed soon.

Hi Arnaud,
I don't know about FTP install, but for the memory problems, if you're
using Firefox 1.5 it could be the infamous Firefox's memory usage
(leak) problem.

Hi,
I'm having problems on 2 computers with the FTP install of
archlinux when using 0.7.1 in FTP mode => the network driver ( tg3
/ sk98lin ) doesn't "automaticaly loads" and when I do a modprobe
tg3 / sk98lin the network doesn't work either ( also if I
configure it by hand ) the only way I found is installing it with
0.7.1-pre or with 0.7 ...
The same appends to me on a test plateform ( hopefully ) after
upgrading it to last testing pkgs ...
In my rc.conf I have :
# Scan hardware and load required modules at bootup
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
# Module Blacklist - modules in this list will never be loaded by
hwdetect
MOD_BLACKLIST=()
#
# Modules to load at boot-up (in this order)
# - prefix a module with a ! to disable it
#
MODULES=(!usbserial !tg3 nvidia snd-intel8x0 snd-intel8x0m
!snd-pcm-oss !snd-mixer-oss !snd-seq-oss)
#...
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
On both I'm on arch 2.6.15.1 <http://2.6.15.1>
Is there a fix / a misconfiguration ?!
*Now the memory problem*
On all my arch systems ( 5 PCs one having 2 arch installed ) I
have memory problem :
Symptoms :
- On KDE / Gnome / Fluxbox / e17 : free-m gives me about 90 to 120
MB of RAM used right after booting
but then after about one hour of use ( Firefox +
xchat/konversation + Thunderbird ) The amount of RAM reach 386Mo !
I've waited 2 days to see and using only this programms I got
1.2GB of RAM used !! ( hopefully on the test systme I have 2 GB ... )
- The application works great I see no slow down problems
- Memory seems to never "unload"
It begins right after KDE 3.5.0 hit testing ...
Here is a screenshot of my KDE desktop before this memory problem
... http://arnaud.fortier.free.fr/captures/capture2.png
<http://arnaud.fortier.free.fr/captures/capture2.png>
As you see I got 10 desktop in 2880x1200 with lots of superkaramba
stuff + gimp + konversation + knotes ... check the other desktops
( capture1 to 10 ) and "only" 386MB of RAM used ! (the
superkaramba script is here
http://arnaud.fortier.free.fr/superkaramba/ )
And 0kB of Swap.
Another information ...on kubuntu 5.10|6.04 / Mandriva 2005 this
doesn't happens ( memory auto frees itself and 0 swap too )
I've tried to dig into kubuntu / Mandriva to find an answer
unsuccesfully ...
Does anyone has a solution / the same problem ?
Thanks a lot
