Is it possible to put the drives to sleep, but not uninterruptable

First of all, open up top again. When it starts, press the 'M' key (caps

Jeff,
The 74MB used memory that you see is not the actual memory usage coz that
includes buffered and cached memory which will be given away to
applications if needed. The standard way of a unix system to allocate
memory is to allocate as much memory as possible .. so most of the memory
is used

This typically sound like your shared library is not properly installed.
never heard of LPRO (is that O or zero) but if it cannot load
/usr/lib/libkdecore.so.2 then this should be fixed. maybe check to which
