Just as a helpful note, adding swap space seems to help against application crashes. I've always had issues with <br>tangoGPS and the various webbrower apps crashing. Looking into it a little more I notice that this was occurring when the <br>puny 128MB of memory was getting filled up. So, I added a swap file onto my microSD card and have had these problems <br>practically clear up. Anyone else had any similar experiences? If this is a true fix this should probably go onto the wiki. <br><br>So, I'm a bit lazy so instead of going through the trouble of adding a swap partition, I just created a swap file. My microSD <br>card is mounted at /media/nickcard so change the below accordingly. I set mine up for 1GB, but that seems like way <br>overkill, so here is a quick command list to create a 1/2GB swap. <br><br>Create the swap file on the mounted microSD card (count is the number of megabytes, change accordingly):<br>dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/nickcard/swapfile.img bs=1024k count=512<br><br>Format the swap file:<br>mkswap /media/nickcard/swapfile.img<br><br>Add the swap file to your running system:<br>swapon /media/nickcard/swapfile.img<br><br>use "free -m" to verify that the swap is going<br><br>Now like I said I am lazy, so I didn't want to bother remembering how fstab worked so that it would auto-start that way, <br>so I just added that last command to the startup. I read that you would just add <br>"/media/nickcard/swapfile.img none swap sw 0 0" to /etc/fstab but don't sue me if that part don't work. :)<br><br>-Nick<br><br /><hr />Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync. <a href='http://windowslive.com/howitworks?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_t1_allup_howitworks_012009' target='_new'>See how it works.</a></body>
