If we're going to enumerate the circumstances wherein the
above view appears a bit "restricted":
+ A new wind.o is installed
+ A new kernel is installed (for some, a regular experience)
+ 'ktune' changes the kernel's size by at least a page
+ The system's RAM is switched from <=.5MB to >= 1MB,
(or vice-versa -- Mega-YETCH !-)
In other words, it's not a "reasonably good way of doing it"
from some perspectives.
