DSL Embedded :: Size of partitions



512 should be sufficient, unless you have already loaded that all up...

Could you paste the output of your `free -m`?

(increasing your swap depends on how you first set it up, if you had one previously)
Here's the output of the free command.  I tried free -m but receivied a usage error:

dsl@box:~$ free
             total         used         free       shared      buffers
 Mem:       126736        61580        65156            0         2104
Swap:            0            0            0
Total:       126736        61580        65156

To me it doesn't even look like I have any swap.  Let me know what you think.
Thanks,

Chris.
It seems that you have only 128MB of RAM and no swap activated.
First you might try to activate swap by swapon -a.
Second way is to format your HD. I suggest you to do so and crate there a swap partition with size of 256-512MB.

EDIT: D0h. Fixed 'sapon' to 'swapon'  :D
You could either do that, or use a swapfile (i.e. win9x style.)
Thanks for the replies.  Is there a way to create a parition now with messing up what I have already done.  Why is my swap partition missing?  Did I miss a step?  This is running of a usb memory key so all I thought I had to do was format the key vfat and copy the files onto it?  Let me know what you think and thanks again for the help.

Chris.
