heres a little snippet from my 'top': "Mem: 151M Active, 194M Inact, 69M Wired, 24M Cache, 61M Buf, 62M Free" Y? Why is 194M inactive? I'm not too familiar with the other categories, but 'inactive'sends a tingle up my spine Is inactive memory similar to reserved memory? Also from 'top': "CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle" Now, I've posted a query on my weird cpu usage/monitoring, but no one seemed to care less, or have any opinions on the matter Question, Does the 'GENERIC' kernel conf omit any cpu-monitoring options? If so, what should i do to remedy this? Sorry about the excessive amount of spaces, but i just received an email from freebsd.org requesting that questions should be posted this way. Hope this doesn't turn anyone off Sincerely, BSD enthusiast To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
