Actually it should be a no brainer... I tested again with bzr and recognized that I looked at the wrong number in watch -n1 free ;) With bzr memory usage raises to at most as about 20 MB without caches / buffers. And after some hours of adsl routing on that via box I just had: gayatri:~# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 499636 24104 475532 0 1208 13636 -/+ buffers/cache: 9260 490376 Swap: 0 0 0 Thats about 9260KB which are actually used. So this should run in 32 MB ;-). Dunno how much caches linux will need in order to run comfortable. But if it takes about 8-15 MB in usual operation on the Asus there should be enough room for caches left. BZW I ordered an Asus WL-500g Premium and two USB 2.0 sticks - one expensive high speed one and a cheaper "normal" one - yesterday ;-). I will let you know how it goes. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
