-
- how much swapp? i believe 4 megs of swapp w/ 8 megs is consider
- normal... i have 12 and it's always sat around 2....
- the lowest it'll go is 2 megs...
-
- of course, have you isntalled the csd? if you have, try deleting your
- swap file and let os/2 recreate it by itself... supposely, there was
- a problme that os/2 was not deleting the old stuff and was keeping
- part of hte pre-csd swapp file around...
-
- hope this helps
