Ah, that would explain it - the usb flash.  Having a swap partition on your usb flash drive would greatly reduce its life afaik...

No hard drive attached to that computer?

Yes it does have a hard drive in it running Fedora Core 4.  I think it's a 40 giger.

Can you do this:
Code Sample
swapon -a && free
and paste what appeared to the screen.

I think that the Fedora installion has a swap space that you can also use for DSL.

This is what happens in DSL:

dsl@box:~$ swapon -a && free
             total         used         free       shared      buffers
 Mem:       126736        81648        45088            0         2116
Swap:            0            0            0
Total:       126736        81648        45088
dsl@box:~$

Thanks,

Chris.

Actually, DSL upon boot will automatically use any swap partitions it can find.

If you have some free space, etc. you could make a swapfile or swap partition on your hard drive.  You could check the hdd's partition table to see what's there.
