    Tinysystem lab: remove the mem= experiment
    
    - The kernel no longer boots even if you boot
      it with "mem=128M" ("mem=256M" does work).
    
    Will investigate later if we want to restore
    this part of the lab.

 See how the dynamic pages are implemented. Very simple, isn't it?
 
-\section{How much RAM does your system need?}
-
-Check the \code{/proc/meminfo} file and see how much RAM is used by your
-system.
-
-You can try to boot your system with less memory, and see whether it
-still works properly or not. For example, to test whether 20 MB are
-enough, boot the kernel with the \code{mem=20M} parameter. Linux will then
-use just 20 MB of RAM, and ignore the rest.
-
-Try to use even less RAM, and see what happens.
