A cheap way to get more memory: o wipe a USB key clean (back it up though!) o mkspwap /dev/sda1 or whereever your usb memory stick is o swapon all those commands might not be totally right, but they're a start (it's been a while) > You might also want to add a fan to blow on your laptop while the > build is running... :-) Something I've been known to do is leave it in the fridge. It works, and that's all the matters, right? Just make sure you don't leave it in there too long next to something that spoils easily. I also find it's somehow good for your battery. I left my cell phone in the fridge overnight once and the battery somehow found itself capable of carrying more load than before. If you don't want to risk it, just plug you pc in and remove the battery before you put it in the fridge. You may want to consider bocking off fan openings to prevent condensation if you're fridge has a habit of nasty condensation. DO NOT STICK IT IN THE FREEZER! That has a tendency to shrink the hardware and make it brittle. I also don't want to find out (even vicariously) what it'll do to a screen. -- http://lordsauronthegreat.googlepages.com/
