> This wastes a K of memory for everyone who's got an Adaptec controller. > Could we be a little more intelligent about this? If you're complaining about 1K of memory because you have an Adaptec controller then you've got to think about bigger problems. We don't even install in a machine with 4096K of memory, and 1 / 4096 doesn't even begin to touch the noise level. Heck, if you want I'll go remove 1K of memory from /bin/sh or /sbin/init, and we'd be even. Would that make you happier? The problem is that we don't know *what* exactly the stolen 1-4K is about, and it's better to be safe than sorry. Nate
