Yes, that comment was more directed at my self that I should look into
that, or if any other dev of osm2pgsql gets to it first... ;-)

 Unfortunately Austria seems to be beyond the capabilities of

You will likely not find that error message on google yet, as if I am
not mistaken, I only commited that error message two days ago.

The default Ram cache size is 800Mb. You can increase it with the -C
parameter of osm2pgsql. But given that your netbook probably doesn't
have that much ram, I am not sure increasing that option is such a good
idea.

Given that you can't fit Austria into 800Mb, I suspect you are using the
32bit version of osm2pgsql. It defaults to the old (for extracts
inefficient) cache allocation strategy. You can try using the
"--cache-strategy" option and set it to either optimized or sparse. That
should be more efficient for extracts than the default method. In the
optimized option, you might run out of virtual memory on 32 bit though.

But you might have troubles with Austria on a netbook anyway, as it
might still be too resource intense.
