There is no problem, because cached memory usage is released whenever it is needed. > I cannot get the copies of the > programs because the terminal will not copy and paste To get a copy of lines on a terminal printout you have to use the linux way :-) That is, you sweep your mouse quickly accross the required text and release the button. This is put onto your clipboard (which can hold severl entries). To paste it you middle-click the destination. On a wheel mouse that's the wheel.
