- You are shutting down your system properly, aren't you? You can't just hit
- the power switch; otherwise there *will* be a dump image in the swap area
- every time, not to mention bits and pieces of files vanishing.

- Make sure you do a powerdown or shutdown command before turning the machine
- off. Unix is a *lot* more complex than DOS.....
