Actually yes, that could make sense. The system has 128M of physical RAM. I take it that the live CD pools space from this in order to populate the executables. That would leave me with lesser RAM for whatever stuff I do. And to top this all, I simply ASSUMED that 'mkswap /dev/hda2' ensures that swap is configured for use; never realized that I had to do a 'swapon -p 1 /dev/hda2' :(
Interestingly however, I do not recollect the LFS book mentioning the 'swapon' routine before unpacking and installing the packages when using the liveCD. I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the input. --- "Justin R.
