How much memory is really free?

#1 Post by Bert »

My Puppy box has 512MB RAM memory.
After installing Puppy 2.01 there's only 140MB Free Ram left.

512MB minus Puppy minus 32MB shared video memory = 140MB Free
Is this normal?

Thanks!
Bert

hats's the free diskspace.

To check memory, type
free
in a consolewindow.

Thank you Mark,

When the mouse cursor hovers over the little blue square in the lower right corner of the screen, the words "Free Memory" appear. That's a bit confusing.
Perhaps "Free Ramdisk" or "Free Disk" would be better?
