I've been running into some memory and swap problems lately. My swap partition is 42MB and I've got 16MB of RAM. When I'm running Netscape with multiple browser windows I consistantly get Out of Memory errors from netscape. Furthermore, I get swap_pager faults too. How can I add more swap space to overcome this problem ? I've tried vnconfig and swapon...but I can't figure it out ? Is it possible that there is a memory leak somewhere ? Worse part is sometimes xdm will simply restart itself.... Any advice much appreciated. -- thanx in advance. David H. dhenshaw@silas.cc.monash.edu.au ¤
