Hi,

I'm getting various errors on a new 3.1 installation on an old 486/66 w/
16MB RAM.  I'd like to take the errors one at a time and explore the most
important first (hopefully):

Jun 30 20:22:03 juno /kernel: swap_pager: out of swap space
Jun 30 20:22:27 juno /kernel: pid 12548 (sh), uid 0, was killed: out of
swap space


This looks like a particularly nasty one.  :->  Here's a df of my
partitions:


Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0s1a     31743    22734     6470    78%    /
/dev/wd0s1f    825055   741859    17192    98%    /usr
/dev/wd0s1e     29751     4423    22948    16%    /var
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc


As a consequence of the above errors (I think), my machine locks up from
time to time.  About once a week or so.  No keyboard input accepted, no
mouse input accepted, can't move to a virtual console, can't telnet in.
When I try and telnet in, I get "no route to host" messages, as though
the box doesn't exist on my home network.  

Does this call for a reinstall at this point?  The other related problem
is that I have great problems trying to compile stuff.  

Jun 30 22:50:17 juno /kernel: pid 17820 (cc1), uid 0: exited on signal 4
(core dumped)

I guess I run out of virtual memory at this point and compiles exit with
an error.  Same happens with inetd-wrapped processes, like: 

Jul  2 01:00:02 juno /kernel: pid 724 (cron), uid 0: exited on signal 4
(core dumped)
Jul  2 06:28:04 juno /kernel: pid 1169 (inetd), uid 0: exited on signal 4
Jul  2 06:28:04 juno inetd[135]: /usr/libexec/comsat[1169]: exit status
0x4

But maybe I should stick to this swap problem first....  All
help appreciated!

Don't you feel more like you do now than you did when you came
in?
