I completely forgot that I initially used the swap partition (about 1 gig) on hda (system is install on hdb)... which has since been removed to put in another machine, and I didn't bother rejigging my hdb partitions to create another swap partition. Do I have enough swap? Probably not since I'm not running with any :D However, I have 640Mb of RAM and I never run anything more intensive than OpenOffice, so I don't even run out of RAM during normal operations. It would explain why kswapd is always present with the machine does this, though. Since the machine that is housing the original hda harddrive is no longer performing any useful functions, I may well put it back in this one and have a play around... and create a swap partition :D Grant. -- Artificial intelligence is no match for nuratal stidutipy. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
