MENU UPLOAD ON OCT 2 KILLS SYSTEMS I just did an upgrade. The menu pkg ate memory like no tomorrow. I have a dual-330, 256m ram, 384m swap. Update-menus calls install-menu, and I saw that eating 280m of memory. root 19580 21.6 83.3 282784 215152 pts/8 R 15:51 0:13 install-menu /etc/menu-methods//enlightenment-nosound -f --stdin Cease and desist at all costs. I have just been informed on irc that a fixed menu is in incoming. So, it should all be fixed tomorrow. ----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK---- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s: a-- c+++ UL++++ P+ L++++ !E W+ M o+ K- W--- !O M- !V PS-- PE++ Y+ PGP++ t* 5++ X+ tv b+ D++ G e h*! !r z? -----END GEEK CODE BLOCK----- ----BEGIN PGP INFO---- Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org> Finger Print | KeyID 67 01 42 93 CA 37 FB 1E 63 C9 80 1D 08 CF 84 0A | DE656B05 PGP AD46 C888 F587 F8A3 A6DA 3261 8A2C 7DC2 8BD4 A489 | 716280FA GPG -----END PGP INFO-----
