OK, the real point of this is that after the install I was reviewing the start-up log and noticed a message saying I had 16 x 4Mb RAM disks. Presumably this was a default kernel option as I haven't knowingly
created
these.
Question is, is this just a capability or is there an actual 64M RAM overhead associated with this?
Where about is this start-up log? I have never come across this at all since gentoo do all the work for me (they extracted the file from the installer and put it in a nice tarball file).
Well, in Debian ( :o) it's Ctrl+Alt+F9 to get the console messages, then hit
Escape so you can scroll back, but isn't there a copy
in /var/log somewhere?
