i'd say that it's a bit of parsimony that we didn't get right.
quite similar in its dog-always-on-wrong-side-of-door nature
to bourne shell's "export".

let's make it "fsmb". that way we need not enumerate file servers.
i've always found listing things in mb is easier to work out.
maybe i'm applying bad experiences with percentage-based partitions,
and *kernelpercent incorrectly.
(if i have *kernelpercent=9 or 10 and 3000mb of memory, how much
kernel memory do i get and why? how much memory would i
get if i specified nothing? i think the answer is 73.8125mb any
way for a cpu server, and 256mb for a terminal, using the distribution's
algorithms.)
