I booted my system, and did nothing much memory-consuming on it.
X is not running at all. when I try to "insmod isdn.o" I get
Couldn't get a free page...
isdn: Could not allocate device-struct.
I'm having 8MB real, 10MB swap. free says:
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 6772 6688 84 7168 156
-/+ buffers: 6532 240
Swap: 10076 568 9508

why does Linux eat up all 8MB even when running in plain console mode ?
