That's perfectly right. With 16MB, I never needed to install swap
space before using Interviews' DOC editor :(
This thread remembers me of a question i had some day:
if I needed e.g. 16MB of swap space sometimes but not all the time, it
would be great to be able to use this space as a tmp area. Would it be
possible to implement something like tmpfs under linux?
Just curious,
