Getting rid of your GUI to save memory

Check out your PS3 memory usage by using the command 'top' while in the command line.
You'll see that your memory usage is damn near 90% or above.

The GUI running takes up a huge chunk of memory, so lets kill it! (it doesnt work anyway..)

1. Change the runmode to multi-user network mode, using the command /sbin/init 3
2. If you want to take a look at other run modes, check the file in /etc/inittab
3. Reboot your machine to apply the settings, you should now only have a command prompt, but have more memory available.
4. Run xterm if you need to do anything graphical (look at previous blog post)
5. To switch back to the previous runmode, /sbin/init 5 should do the trick.
