hi there,

i noticed that the format of /proc/meminfo seems to have changed quite a bit in
the upgrade to linux-2.6.0. it should be easy enough to fix though. i dont
really have the time at the moment though, but if anyone wants to have a crack
at it themselves just for fun, then here is a sample output of the new
/proc/meminfo 

$ cat /proc/meminfo

i'm sure a quick hack could be implemented in the parsing of bbsload.cc around
line 84.

i was willing to hack on some of the bbtools, but due to time constraints and
the new blackbox library coming out, i was going to wait till things got
settled. i'd also prefer to work on a more cross-platfrom way to view system
resources such as this. at the moment, i understand bbsload only works on a
linux-2.4 kernel... but id like to work on getting it working on SunOS and
FreeBSD.

cheers,
Sam
