i have 128MB of ram installed in 2.2.5.   i reconfigured the kernel for the
extra ram.

ie.
options         "MAXMEM=(128*1024)"

when i run a top i get this:
Mem: 72M Active, 6440K Inact, 15M Wired, 20M Cache, 8345K Buf, 11M Free

can someone explain to me how to read it.  i fugured i should have more than
11M free.  just need to see if all the ram is being used properly.

thanks in advance!
