Re: Kernel: Unable to load interpreter
This has certainly been a learning experience. Yes, I'm guessing RAM or
swap could have been an issue. I'll probably add some more RAM since this
is the only machine I'm running Linux on which has only 16 MB of RAM.
And thanks for letting me know about the 'free' command! I'd wondered for
a long time what was a good way to see how much memory is being used at a
given time!
