hi,

I'm using FreeBSD 1.0.2 and I'm very happy with it. There is just one
thing which makes me wonder:

If I'm using Xview and I run out of swap-space, the system halts. If I
reset the system after waiting for a few minutes, it will come up
without any errors.

Will this behaviour be the same in 1.1 or is there another way to go if
swap-space is 100% used ? 

I'm not always able to go home and restart my system just because
someone used more space than I had .-))

Michael
