No, not the swap usage.. but the the memory usage.. It shows 126MB used..
how??? top dosn't show any process which is using a lot of memory.. the total
of top is about 15mb or so.. where does this extra memory usage come from?
I am seeing more and more of this on LM8 machines.. this was never a problem
with LM7.x

I don't agree.. if the process was swapped out fine, but after it finished,
the swap should become empty again. I think tis a problem with 2.4.x
kernels.. coz I read something about it on the lists.

I have a 1.5GB system.. and swap was supposed to be double that right?
Anyway, I kept it to teh size of the RAM...
Here I have a problem too.. I cannot get LM8.0 to detect 1.5GB.. I tried
appending mem=1500M to lilo but it didnt' change a bit. (yes I ran lilo b4
rebooting!)
any help is highly appreciated.
thanks a lot
