Ok, as you might notice I am learning. Just installed FreeBSD 4.3
and made my box stable. Last world was build this morning.
I modified my kernel as follow from GENERIC:

So why put all this? Because I think something is terribly wrong.
The box has 256MB of RAM but as I look at the memory utilization
all the RAM is used and swap may go to 1%(total swap 515MB) Even after
closing the apps my mem does not come down. No errors are reported :(
Is that a memory leak?
Oh, using KDE 2.1.1.
Nothing major running just normal use, like browsing
the www or using GTV Mpeg player. Even on console mode, since i dont boot
to KDE, a simple ls command will be noticeably slow. Perhaps, this is
normal !
I have been doing some reading, searching newsgroups and asking friends.
But I haven’t been looking in the right places since I still have no idea of
the problem.
I am not asking for anybody to do the work for me but simply to point me in
the right direction. All the junk I included was for information and maybe
someone will see what is not obvious to me.
Also, I have installed the OS like 5 times, build world just as many and
hack
the kernel another 8.
Thanks for listening,
sorry about the whining, just a little tired.
