Right now before OOPS: Mem: 62244K av, 61292K used, 952K free, 0K shrd, 1496K buff Swap: 467444K av, 37344K used, 430100K free 29528K cached
I got a lot of things running, several daemons, netscape, and other things. I put a 400MB swap for now just to help things.
Here's what happens after oops:
Wait a second...before I didn't have the 400MB swap on, and I had about 952K of physical ram left. Shouldn't it try and swap if it cant get enough physical memory?
It did NOT oops with that amount of swap:
If i turn it off:
Mem: 62244K av, 61288K used, 956K free, 0K shrd, 1448K buff Swap: 64252K av, 38024K used, 26228K free 29880K cached
and try the xcdrgtk (X CDRoaster)
I get...hrm.. this is really strange. Now its not ooping?!
I dont know it must have to do with something somewhere I cant tell you.
