I've included the output of my procinfo -a command at the end of this message, if
anyone is so inclined to take a look.
If fact, the following example was taken during a kde session with netscape, licq, and
the gimp running. When I ran the command with kde closed and no programs running, it
reported that even more Memory was being used? ( I ran it after a reboot if that
matters?)
On a side note, I recall someone was having trouble with Star Office. I installed it
today for the first time and created a step by step journal for my own future
reference. It seems to be running well, so if like I could mail it to you, just drop
me a line.
Thanks In Advance,
Ben
