Re: dselect can not allocate memory

is this right in i see only 2MB of swap on a machine with 14MB of ram ? i make it rule for myself to have 128MB swap for every physical hdd installed, even with 256MB ram i still have 256MB swap (only using 4MB of it though) MemTotal:253164 kB MemFree: 5664 kB MemShared:70652 kB
