Are you sure? I'm pretty sure the OpenLinux 2.2 install lets you get away
with not specifying a swap partition. Does it just go ahead and use a
file in that case? What if I have more memory than HD (my current situation.)

Oh no, forgive me for the sarcastic comment. I'm sure that linux can be
used without swap files, but AFAIK it creates a swap partition by default.

RedHat 5.1 works pretty well without a swap partition (and AFAIK it's
not possible to use a regular file for the swap...)

Thanks to all for your answers, I didn't imagine at a first sight
that such a small file could have so many objects.
Regarding to the linux swap matter, I've worked always without anyone
and this is the first time I find a problem with it. I use an old
slackware distribution (1995) and hope to fix this problem whith a new
hardrive and a more recent Debian.

Welcome to POV-Ray - the most memory eating program I have ever used.
She is a hungry beast :)

The only reason a bought 64 Megs more RAM (so now I have 128 Megs) was
povray. No joking. I don't have any other program that starts swapping with
64 Megs of memory.

Wow, good thing I pitched in a few more pennies for 128 megs. . .
Heh. I really like this scene! Thanks, David!

Ditto. That's the only reason I went to 128 megs directly (instead of my
dad's suggestion to buy 64 now and 64 later). Also, I'm hoping to reach 1
GB some day! (my board supports it! w00!)

Same here, Warp. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, else on my machine uses as
much memory or puts my hardware through a workout as much as POV-Ray. Even
the most of the latest PC games will run with headroom to spare if I had
invested in a nicer 3d video card, but it isn't that important to me.
