Sorry for my wrong statement. I was sure about SunOS, and thought I
was sure about 386BSD, oh well. How can I find out how much VM I
have/is used/is free?

Can I configure a kernel to boot without swap partition?

Can I make mfs user the full VM? How?

Greetings,

PS: Do you know (since you're from Berkeley) when/how 4.4Lite will be
    released?
