Hi
If you do not care at all about the logs there may even be a way to
write them to /dev/null. This would free up the memory.
WARNING: I do not know if it is possible, and thus haven't done it
myself. It's just an idea.
However if it is possible i might want to do this on my EeePC, for it
has only limited hdd space. I am willing to try this on my EeePC this
weekend, for it would help me if it would work.
Could someone smarter and wiser than me (90% of this list fills at
least 1 catorgory) please shine his or her light on wether this would
theoretically work?
Thanks
Neil
Sorry if this could be considered a thread hyjack. Just disregard it
in that case, I'll get the message.
