Thanks to John from the dslinux.org forums for the shell code for this. http://www.dslinux.org/index.php?showtopic=2018&st=180#

This will if it detects extra RAM, will run gpm if its available

Maybe we should set a environment variable if extra RAM is detected so instead of having to run the script each time it could be checked against the environment variable instead ?

I was trying to do something like this in inittab to make 3 terminals available for RAM users or 1 if extra RAM not detected but doesn't work.

I get error
/dev/tty: cannot open

so don't use the below diff
