Re: [Trinux-talk] Invalid gzip magic

[Matt S. <ma...@ma...>]

These are immediately after booting from the floppy...

output from df command:

Filesystem     1k-blocks     Used     Available     Use%     Mounted on
/dev/ram0       6076         1811      4265         30%        /
/dev/null       16000          48      15952         0%        /usr
/dev/null       1000            0      1000          0%        /home

output from free command:

                total         used      free      shared     buffers
mem:            46584         10512     36072        0       6160
swap:             0             0         0
Total:          46584         10512     36072

I don't have any extra memory handy to see if that helps, but I'm working
on another machine to try it on.  I'll let you know if I have any success.
