I am new to this group and am not sure if this belows here but I am going
to post anyways...

I have a 486/66 with local bus
I installed from slackware 2.2
I am using kernel version 1.2.11
I am using gcc version 2.6.3
I have 16M of ram
and 32M of swap space....
16M swapon /dev/hda2 and 16M on /dev/hda3

My question: Why doesnt my mschine use the space space????
When usinig the command free I always says that my machine has
32992 free and 32992 available. Has anybody seen this????

Please help....
