Maybe it's possibe to build and provide these packages as well. > About swap - LEAF now use less than 64 MB RAM (on my test box with > OSPF/SNMP/PPTP/PPPoE - ~55 MB for code + tmpfs and ~18MB cache, totally > ~73MB) - so will swap be useful for somebody, if 128M RAM will be more > than enough for typical LEAF box?
