Oh. Good. Thank you for confirming that :-) And I have a laptop - therefore do use hibernation - with 3GB of RAM. There you go, a circumstance where 2GB of swap space isn't enough. OK, so it's pretty specific and about the only circumstance where you *would* need more than 2GB swap and most of it's going to be totally unused 99% of the time, but even so... :-) David -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
