hey Chris -- i didn't do anything. just added the memory. i don't have a clue how to
(if you even can) tell linux to use or not use the swap. i monitor my swap and ram
use, and i have not seen any swap used since i went to 188M ram.
a 2G swap that is 100% used???? wow, that sounds really strange to me. somehow that
just don't sound right at all.
and i should mention i use GIMP to manipulate images and such, which is memory intense
as you probably know. even with that, i use no swap. i just trust that linux knows
how to use the ram & swap i have provided, so i don't know a thing about tweaking the
useage.

How'd you get it to not use the swap?... I have 128MB of RAM also,
and a 2GB (yes, 2 gig) swap partition that is always 100% used. Even
with the 128MB, I never have more than 6 or 7MB of memory free.
