I think he said Celeron (doesn't that mean slow as celery, i.e. low-power?), 256 MB and no swap. Something: If you don't have a spare partition for swap, you may want to try a swap file. There are things in memory that on a system with swap get swapped out when memory gets tight that aren't used much anyway. Having a swap file would free up memory for your applications. You can also use top to see what apps specifically are hogging the memory. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
