Yes, I believe so. As far as the system is concerned, you have hware mem + swap memory at all times. Which is what you care about anyway :-) FreeBSD will suck up any unused hardware memory and use it as disk cache, so that number is quite irrelevant. > Also, I have a process running called adjkerntz. What is it? I believe it's "adjust kernel time zone" adjkerntz - adjusts the kernel time if the machine runs wall CMOS clock see `man adjkerntz`.
