Hmm. Okay. df -k tells me this:
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/ram0 16208 4456 11752 27% /
/dev/ram1 2022 47 1975 2% /var/log
and free tells me this:
total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 15007744 14741504 266240 6922240 6479872 2195456
Swap: 0 0 0
MemTotal: 14656 kB
MemFree: 260 kB
MemShared: 6760 kB
Buffers: 6328 kB
Cached: 2144 kB
SwapTotal: 0 kB
SwapFree: 0 kB
I guess I could cut ram0 down by half and still have plenty of room. Is
that reasonable?
