Hmm... I do not "access" it. I just call 'stat("/proc/kcore", &buf)'. I=20

Well, I've to change this thing anyway, because I recently noticed that=20
with "highmem" (or whatever this stuff is called) gives wrong results=20
with the sizeof(kcore) approach.

Anybody has got a hint how to detect the "real" amount of memory built=20
into a PC?

There's another thread "Text overlay problem", looks like this guy=20
already has written (or stolen :-) such a plugin.

No, I can't. Nobody can. It's explicitly stated in their=20

Ok, I will implement this stuff really soon (at least I'll try to).

Anybody with hints where one could steal^Hlook up good code for pid file=20
handling?

What should happen if there are two instances of lcd4linux running? Two=20
pid files?
