The release notes for Apache 1.3.14 mention that it has support for FreeBSD's accept

Hi, all:
My PC have 128M RAM, but in /proc/meminfo, it display 122424K, not

My program need to a 32M buffer, so I add "append="mem=96M"" to lilo.conf,
then the PC only know 96M mem, I can use the rest 32M. Following is a
simple example:

Your patch cannot be correct, it is impossible for CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV

Andi,
Thanks for your feedback. We are looking at this now. Hopefully we will be
