Swap refers to using a resource such as your hd as virtual memory.

I'd still recommend for you to use "lowram" bootcode if you haven't yet.

Using firefox is a bit of an overkill... once you get dillo working alright, you should try Opera instead.

I think an email program called Sylpheed is included.

First does the "Swap Used" show anything on the upper right of your screen?

If not this is how I would find my swap partition:

Boot DSL 2 or you might right click on the Atermial icon and do superuser

type fdisk /dev/hda <- yours could be sda, hdb etc..

hit p

if swap is there it should be type 82

note what it is if it's there ~ hda2 or hda1

hit q

type swapon /dev/hda2 <- for whatever you find

I remember the guy that helped me set this up used type 82 but I don't remember if it was on 1 or 2.
But I have been watching the commands fly by during startup and also noticed that swap was being used or at least recognised.
It did however just stop the boot sequence. I have the following notice...

"xauth: error in locking authority file /home/dsl/.Xauthority
xauth: error in locking authority file /home/dsl/.Xauthority
xauth: error in locking authority file /home/dsl/.Xauthority
xauth: error in locking authority file /home/dsl/.Xauthority

giving up.
xinit : Connection rerfused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
xauth: error in locking authority file /home/dsl/.Xauthority
dsl@console[dsl]$"

I don't know squat about what is going on now, but it can't be good.
I was on a web site earlier that froze this up. I couldn't do anything with it so I turned it off.
Could it still be looking for the web connection?
Should this conversation be moved to another topic?
