I am running 1.2.13 with a single 96Meg swap partition on a PCI NCR
Fast SCSI-II controller. No problems what so ever. ...no I don't
need 96M, but I figured that way I wouldn't have to repartion my disks
if I add more memory and might be able to use it and it also allows the
system to pull through (slowly) without exausting virtual memory if I do
something that needs lots.
