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.
