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
