Hi I refer you to Oliver Elphick's response about disk repartitioning for more swap. If you *need* more swap space, you can create a swap file. It will be slower than a swap partition (you are running things through the file system) but it works. It got me out of the woods. Actually, man mkwap will tell you all you need to know. Write me back if you need to. --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly.
