	Well, I now have proof that the stock 5 meg swap partition
	created with the 0.1 install disk is not enough.  I added
	a second disk and gave it another 5 megs of swap (I have
	8 megs memory) using swapon.  I then compiled libc, and
	during the ar phase (after creating all the .po's) the
	second drive started blinking like mad.  Also during the
	nroff -mandoc of the man files.  The compile did finish.
	Any idea on what the recommended total swap size for
	8 megs and 16 megs of memory is?

	That's the biz, sweetheart.
