Sometime Today, Saswata Banerjee & Associates assembled some asciibets to say:

Won't help. Swap resides on the hard disk. So it won't *reduce* hard
disk usage.

firebird seems to be even less resource hungry, and is the most
standards compliant browser ever.

I think there's a quickstart feature somewhere, though as you mentioned,
I couldn't find it. All the same, try Firebird, both on windows and on
linux. Reduce the cache size though. The default is 50MB. Set it to
1MB for faster load times.
