Under Digital Unix 3.0, one could tell the resident size of the
kernel via "ps":
USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY      S    STARTED         TIME COMMAND
root         0  0.0 11.5  570M  37M ??       R <  09:04:12     2:38.72 [kernel ]
However, under Digital Unix 3.2d, one sees this:
USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY      S    STARTED         TIME COMMAND
root         0  5.0  3.6  552M  182 ??       R <  09:21:38    17:23.95 [kernel ]
What does the "182" under RSS actually mean? Digital support asserts that
this does mean that the resident size of the kernel is 182k, which would
be marvelous, if I could actually believe it.
The 3.2d system does have 512 mb of memory, so if the %MEM figure is to be
believed, it takes about 17mb. 
Is there any way to get comparable data from both the 3.0 and 3.2d systems?
Thanks in advance.
