stopping services from loading

[Michael Havens]

well, just killing samba and bluetooth frees about 700KB
top says total memory is 385264KB and that of that 10042KB is free with  
those afore mentioned services stopped.

as for running chkconfig it isn't on the system. I tried to apt-get it but  
the computer said the program was probably obsolete and that there was no  
instalation canidate.

As for the PCMCIA card I have a USB drive and a USB multicard  
reader/writer; does either of those count?
