go back into yast and un-install all the crap ou dont need.
id' keep cron, you might use it to tally your scores for yourself..:)
can also edit the /etc/inittab like so:
1:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear tty1
#2:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
#3:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
#4:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
#5:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
#6:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6
will only run one login on alt-F1..will save some memory.
anything else you cant figgure out how to disable, can try going to
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d and deleting the symlinks for those packages you dont
want to run.

Subject: [SLE] Minimum install still uses 14meg memory
I am in the process of writing a program that will time slot cars
around my basement track for Linux. In doing this, it is becoming
apparent that I need to have pretty good access to my parallel port -
so much so that not many other processes can be running at the same
time.
I have a minimum install, plus a little networking, installed on my
486-33 box w/ 16 meg ram. However, when doing a "top" last night, I
see that almost 15 meg of ram is already being used by other processes
- one of which is sendmail.
I am obviously going to have to get rid of sendmail, smb, nfs and any
other services running on this machine. Are there any other
suggestions for what I should be looking for to delete? When I did
this "top", I was running in console mode with one user (root) only.
There was nothing that appeared to be taking more than 4% of memory -
in fact most of the items were taking 0.0 memory.
Any suggestions on how I can free up this machine would be
appreciated. I need to get it so it is as "fast" and light as a DOS
install.
Thanks,
Stuart
