 I will be sure to check for that error message when I install 5.0 again
 and if I run into the same problem.  I believe I had 64 mb of memory on
 the machine, unfortunenately I installed 4.8 recently and compiled it
 successfully.  But FreeBSD 5 could have higher requirements than 4.8.  I
 will probably install 5 on a different machine just to see if I have that
 same problem at a later date though, and I will check on that error
 message.  I have always been told to always go with twice as much memory
 for swap space as actual memory.  Do I ever need to go above this?  For
 example, if I have a 486 dx2 with 16 mb of ram should i install FreeBSD 5
 and only 32 mb of swap space, or do i need to go with 64 mb of swap space
 just to avoid this problem.  Thanx for your time.
