(Let's keep this civil please.) ;-) I would really like to know this as well, I was installing Red Hat 8 on an Armada E500 with 256mb RAM. I fat fingered the mouse, imagine that, before setting the size of the swap partition it gave me the message that swap must be "greater then the amount of RAM in the computer". I've just followed the guidelines in the past (sort of) and made the swap 2x the memory. Is there a point where more swap doesn't help? Sam. P.S. I'm installing Ximian 2 right now on the E500 I'll let ya all know what it's like. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
