    How?!? I was attempting to run a hand-stripped Woody system on a 486/66
    with 12MB of RAM and it took ages just to log in to a shell prompt. When I
    was stripped, I mean that when I was in multi-user and looking at a bash
    prompt, there were 12 entries in the process table. How do you manage with
    4MB?
