lovdsl I think that you misinterpreted my post. (I was very blunt). I didn't mean that dsl should, as a first option, be run with 32 meg ram. I just meant that that worked for me. Furthermore, if someone is just trying out dsl on a windows machine, then it would be extremely foolhardy for them to partition their drive to include a swap. This would effectively castrate (possibly kill) their windows install. I also took issue with you recommending at least 128Mb RAM, when that's only for the 'toram' cheat code, which most newbies won't try anyways. I am not your enemy, but as a member of this forum, I feel that it is my job to stop the degradation of the image of linux. If that means stepping on someone elses' toes, then so be it. Most of your guide was pretty damn good, but I didn't think that it was a good idea for any misinformation to be distributed.
