I was trying to figure out why some applications where not compiling, and It was saying not enough memory. My swap space was only 50megs! I added a 500meg swap file, and mozilla, and kde compiled without issues.
Not sure if this is in the FAQ, but not enough swap caused me some wierd issues. Adding a swap file was the quickest solution.
Funny how a simple thing, you dont see can cause lots of issues. |

Heh, yeah a small swap file can certainly cause problems, which is quite logical.
On my 96Mb laptop, i have a 64Mb swapfile, i always carefully watch if i exceed my 96Mb which i never exceed actually :)
On clean boot with X it used like 20-28M.
Mhh, there is a kernel option in some newer (or all newer) kernels which kills applications if there arent any resources left to allocate memory on.
O well, i dont compile on my laptop at all, because my AXP does all the jobs.
