Well, I am having a problem with it locking up, and I want to make sure it is not something in the original config. Using the old train of thought I configured a 128mg swap. I have 768mg real memory. If I do a 'free -m' I will see very little use of the swap (1-8megs) but real stays close to 750mg, as the system aproches 768 the swap does not increase, but if I go over 768 everything locks up. So I figure the first thing I need to do is bring the swap up to what everyone is recomending, I have a 40gig and and a 60gig drive in the box, so there is no reason why I should not at least try the 'double the ram idea'.
Actually I was hoping that diskdrake would acomplish this because I was able to resize my son's windoze partition when he wanted to play with linux and I installed mandrake. Funny, this is the first time I have found a linux tool that will do to windoze what it won't do for itself <GRIN>.
