I think if you run out of memory, a process called OOM-killer will get started and killoff the process that is taking up the most amount of memory. If you really want to run without swap, you can put at least 1 GB or RAM (if you use OO+Mozila+KDE/GNOME) adn set swapiness to 0 -- Raj Shekhar Y!IM : lunatech3007 blog : http://rajshekhar.net/blog home : http://rajshekhar.net Disclaimer : http://rajshekhar.net/disclaimer _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
