Hard disk install today 2.16.1, the applet is saying I have 16.7G available..via the desktop meter. Anyone tell me if this means something wrong with the install.. I dont even have 8gig hard disk 
EDIT: Whoops actually this PC has a 20Gig hard drive not 8gig (thats the other one) so perhaps the applet is telling me how much space I have on my hard drive..but why..? normally does it not show the swap file size.. CHeers Last edited by ohyes on Mon 28 May 2007, 08:55; edited 1 time in total |

The freememapplet is similar to what auto mechanics call "idiot lights" on car instrument panels ... when your car is running low on oil, a red light comes on and/or flashes. The "idiot lights" were designed for folks who don't know how to interpret what an oil pressure gauge displays. With a full HD install, the freememapplet is showing you how much space is left on the drive. With a frugal HD install or running from a live CD, it shows how much space there is left for personal file storage. Right click on your freememapplet for more information. To determine free RAM, open a terminal (console) and at the command prompt, type: free For detailed realtime info on RAM and CPU usage, at the command prompt, type: top -aj _________________ hangout: ##arch-ftw on irc.freenode.net diversion: http://alienjeff.net - visit The Fringe quote: "The foundation of authority is based upon the consent of the people." - Thomas Hooker |
