Yes.

The kernel doesn't specifically allocate anything for the ktelnetd until it actually launches the daemon (after the player starts and reads config.ini) -- at which point, it will require typical process resources, which I'd guestimate at somewhere between 4 and 8 pages (4KBytes each) of RAM.

On my own players, I use this:

[startup]
;@AC ReserveCache=8


But I'm not sure if that's good or not. Works for me (EDIT: though I used to use 64 here..)

And I've discovered a nifty method of producing an out-of-memory error on request: just run hdparm -t /dev/hda (from a telnet session) and it will give a mysterious error message from /bin/bash, whilst Hijack shows an out of memory popup on the display.

Cheers
