That's 180kB S/S.. ;)


But yes.. there was a way of doing this on the 2.4 kernel (using a special 
kernel module and some scripting foo). It was tricky.. and I never actually 
got it to work all the way (I crashed mine which then had to be rebooted).  
But I haven't looked at it since going to 2.6.. so who knows.
