Hm. I have issues with the idea of deadlocking because I used too much memory, and tmpfs mounting as /tmp looks like a good idea (though still voodoo -- I'm actually just annoyed by it because I once downloaded some Solaris upgrade packages into /tmp and had them deleted by a reboot :-) There might be something I can do in VMware with host reserved memory, or I'll look at reducing Win2K's memory footprint some more. thanks, -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
