ya know, i think this might explain the problem i've been having
with my Xwindows, although i do have 20 meg in the machine and i
dont think it starts swapping, but i dunno...

when i start X, it starts going, gets half way thru starting up and
then crashes back to the command prompt, usually giving me some
sort of ld.so errors, like it cant find it, even though its where
it supposed to be with proper permissions....

strange thing is, is sometimes it works....  

*shrug*

i think i'll wait till i get my new disk...
