You'll need a *lot* of swap (at least 300MBytes probably) to get away with this. I've never tried anything this old on x86, but 64MBytes is *really* pushing it on sparc32 systems. You'll also run out of disc space unless you nfs /var/tmp/portage and /usr/portage. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail: ciaranm at gentoo.org Web: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
