Well, I generally start with 256MB swap, and go up from there (even with machines that have 16MB of RAM (or less, I suppose, but we tend to use X here, so the desktop machine that doesn't have at least 16MB RAM is rare). Then again, I also generally configure /tmp as an MFS. I don't know of any problems that this has caused. Oh -- this has been on a FreeBSD-2.2.6-RELEASE environment, for the most part. david -- David Wolfskill UNIX System Administrator dhw@whistle.com voice: (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 371-4621 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
