grml2ram fails reporting that there is too less free RAM despite there is plenty.

Problem: the MemFree entry of /proc/meminfo is parsed which is usually small
because free memory is used by buffers and caches.

Sample:
# grml2ram
 * Sorry, not enough free RAM (246276kB) available for grml-image (387712kB).   
# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       6126996    5880344     246652     239016    4634320     290508

Probable fix:
Parse a different value from /proc/meminfo, like Inactive?
