I can't seem to get the DOS swapfile tool to work correctly. Every time I try it, the indicator on the desktop shows 100% swap usage, and there's no swap file on the hard drive. This is a real pain, because I only have 64 Mb of RAM, and when I browse the internet, either I have to close Dillo after a little while, or it closes on its own. It would be really great if I didn't have to deal with that, so please help me. Also, is it possoble to control the amount of pages Dillo keeps in its cache? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dillo keeps everything in memory cache without writing to disk. The only cache setting I know you can change is for decompressed images.

Add this line in your dillorc (/home/dsl/.dillo/dillorc):
use_dicache=NO

Create it manually:
mount your HD
assuming it's hda2:
sudo su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/hda2/swap bs=1M count=128
mkswap /mnt/hda2/swap
swapon /mnt/hda2/swap
