===================================
The 128M swap partition limitation no longer exists. I believe it disappeared
in the 2.2.x kernel. Depending on what you do with your machine, it's not
likely you'll need a 300M swap partition, however. w/192M of RAM, I have a
200M swap and even when I'm using StarOffice, Applixware, and Nutscrape
w/other apps all running at once, I don't think I've ever used more than
10-12M of my swap.
