About 700mb ram in use when idle. Also, how to strip?

I'm not sure why, but at boot, my LFS distro is using about 700mb after being logged in. I'm not sure what to do.

On another note. How can I strip debugging symbols and other unnecessary things from my system? I'm making an LFS livecd, and I'm already using a lot of disk space. I'm going to delete my source directories and tarballs, and also my tools directory.

That could be correct, it all depends on what daemons and programs are running.

The end of chapter 6 has a chapter about debugging symbols and stripping.

Hope this helps.

Is there a way I can print the output of top to a file so I can post it here? I just have: default daemons, hald, alsa.

I think that's it.

Hi,

To put the output of top into a file:

top -b -n2 > top.out

Look for the second entry and post those values.

Hope this helps.
