/proc/meminfo

[Roets, Chris]

if you look at /proc/meminfo, what values to you need to add to each
other
to get to the total memory ?
ok, used and free (256241664  5042176),
but then how do you come to used :

Active + Inactive_dirty + Inactive_clean + ....
in the case below, I can't find where 57360 Kb are allocated to.
I looked ad slabinfo, but cold get to the total niether
Does anybody have the calculation to get to the total ?
Thanks,
Chris
