Ge,

After our changes I can now boot a network-ready (with DHCP + FTP 
working) console-mode ROS with only 14MB of physical memory. I suspect 
that after the OB leak is fixed this number will go down. My goal is 12MB.

There are also dozens of bugs in the paging code which someone has to fix.

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu

Cool :-) FreeLdr requires 8 MB now, if you approach that let me know (do I
hear a challenge here?), we should be able to reduce the memory requirements
of FreeLdr a little bit further by implementing a real heap manager.
