Unfortunately I can't get any more memory or swap right now, but I am perfectly content to wait long periods of time. I'm just glad I don't need the box just yet. > > > MB).

FWIW I don't see all of the swap being used, so it's not a serious issue, it'll just take a long long time I guess. THis was more to sanity check than anything else. Assuming it eventually finishes, which I guess it will, I guess I'm set. I'm just too used to the boxes at work, where huge amounts of memory and processing is standard.
