Re: 3 simple questions about iDVD, hard drive space, and XPF

[Felix]

I'm also confused as to why some say the swap file can be placed in a 
partition as small as less than 1 GB while others swear it grows and 
needs as much as 10GB.  Also, when you check memory usage in the Process 
Viewer, why is VM something like 3.5 GB?  Does that mean that that much 
of the startup volume is being used as Virtual Memory?  That would also 
explain why so little room is left on the startup volume I guess.

How will moving the swap file give iDVD more work-space?

Hello people. Now that I have the 1 GHZ g4 upgrade in my beige dt, I 
can run iDVD 4. I'm planning on using an internal Pioneer drive. 
However, my startup disk is a partition with less than 4 GB of room 
remaining. I have all documents and mulitmedia files, as well as OS 
9, in the second and larger partition which has over 70 GB remaining.

3. I suppose another work around would be to install OS X 10.3 in 
the larger partition. But can someone tell me if that will "break" 
XPF? Also, doing that does not mean I'd have to wipe out my data 
right? Thanks for any help!
Look at moving the swap file to your large disc. There are a number 
of utilities that will let you do it. You can also do it with 
terminal. I like Laurent Muller's Xupport utility. It's a GUI 
interface for a whole bunch of Unix jobs. 
http://www.computer-support.ch/Xupport  Makes it very easy to change 
your swap file.
