Yes you are correct.
I have 1.5 gig. 


unasked for System specs.
Pentium 4  3.??Ghz, with Hyper threading,
1.5Gb ram. (512Mb + 1Gb)
XFX Nividia 6600 pcie with 256 Mb

I noticed you added debian-hurd to the reply list.
I hope that means that your patch question is for them, I've replied in
both just case you intended for me too.


As to the Issue at hand....

I think I've resolved to installing it on a lesser machine that just
became available, while I am trying to figure it out.

If that gives me problems and tackle the bigger box after I understand
the mechanics a bit better.
