hey Chris --
i had an idea (which don't happen often)
you could tell linux not to use the swap by eliminating the swap partition.
tho i don't know if linux *has* to have a swap.
one of the gurus might be able to answer that for us.

How in the world are you using all 2g swap??? As for physical RAM. When I
had 128m, I usually had ~10m free, and used no swap (according to top). Now
I have 256m & I would have to try hard to get it to use the swap.
