	If you compile your own kernel, you can pull down the latest 
patch for 2.4.x or 2.5.x that support highmem.  This allows the UML to 
go well beyond 4xx or 9xx megs.  As I mentioned, you can over allocate 
too.

	Or just close down all your X apps, switch to a text console, run 
"telinit 3" as root and try again.
