Richard,
Funny, I just installed 8.2 last night myself. It sounds like maybe
things are pretty mucked up, probaly installing fresh would be best.
This time, when you install, setup your swap partition to 1-2 times
the amount of ram you have (ie, if you have 128 ,megs, make your swap
partition anywhere between 128 megs, and 256 megs (150 sounds good to
me...).
If you want you can send me your /etc/fstab, and detailed list of
your partitions (fdisk will show that), and maybe I can help you fix
it (if its fixable...) but its probably easiest for all if you just
start over :). If you want to hire someone to do it for you, we do
have a list of consultants that can do that. I do that sort of thing
for $25/hour (for personal computers, business's $50/hour).
