Huh? X windows configuration is through /etc/XF86Config and has nothing
to do with the kernel. The whole machine will run faster if you add RAM
anyway, since it won't have to go to swap so soon.

Check your MANPATH.

Allow the machine to stay on Friday night, or put this into a shell
script and run as root:
locdb=/var/db/locate.database
touch ${locdb}; chown nobody ${locdb}; chmod 644 ${locdb}
echo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb | nice -5 su -m nobody 2>&1 |\
fgrep -v 'Permission denied'
chmod 444 ${locdb}
This was slashed from /etc/monthly.
