I am confused on several issues. 1) due to the fact that I have 40meg real memory the tasks should not even be using virtual memory Should I specify something in kernel build like SHMMAXPAGES or EXTMEM_SIZE or whatever????? 2) I do not know how to change the virtual memory allocation. Is it a kernel config parameter? Thanks, Bill
