Just two comments: 1) I had the exact same problem on a G3/266-64MB, and ended up installing 10.1.5 instead (or in fact as it was before I tried to upgrade to Jag. I thought it was due to lack of memory, but your evidence suggest different.
2) Beware of small swap-partitions. OSX handles swap very differently than, say Linux. It just eats as much as it needs in 80 MB blocks off your main partition, and if you only plan on having 250 Mb it will only leave you space for 3 swap files(If it is for your Linux partition, please disregard this ;-)). On my iMac (10.2.4/512 MB,up 5 days) I have 7 swap files at the moment on my G3(10.1.5/64 MB, uptime 72 days) I have 4 and on my iBook(10.2.4/320 MB, up 5 days), I have 5. I have had up to 37(!) swapfiles on my iMac, when running some memory leaking application like the first build of Konfabulator or Safari, that never seems to release its used memory. I would recommend just using the main partition for the swap files for OSX. Cheers, Kim On 31/03/03 17:41, "Larson, Timothy E." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, Larry.
