That sounds like you don't have a swap partition, the results of "swapon -s" should show something like: Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/hda10 partition 248968 107692 -1 If there isn't any swap space at all, or it doesn't say "partition", you need to get some space on your drive to dedicate to swap. It's just not believable that a properly configured Linux system on a 300MHz processor with 96MB ram will run slower than the same machine running Windows 2000. > a Toshiba Portege 7010ct with 300 mhz processor, 96 mb ram, and have what > I assume to be woody - it got network-installed three days ago, so it's No reason to assume it is. See your /etc/apt/sources.list. It contains lines like: deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib basically if the word after the URL is 'woody' or 'testing' you have woody. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
