I reported earlier that I had installed vinux on a Gateway P.C. with only 64 megs of RAM and it did not completely build. This has nothing to do with speech except that I could sure hear the errors. Well, I gave that system another try but increased the swap partition by adding a second swap at the expense of the primary one such that I now have about 256 megs of swap space. the Live CD detects any swaps you have already set but since this was new one, I used swapon /dev/hda3 as that was its partition number. To see your swap, use swapon -s and it should report everything it sees as swap space. This morning, I left for work before it had stopped grinding on this new installation, but so far, there have been no more errors of the "no space left on device" type. If it is still appearing to load this evening, I will know it is stuck in never-never land, but I expect it to finish. The moral of the story is to not be too cheap when setting up swap if you have limited RAM. I did try vinux on another system at work that presently has Windows on its hard drive and limited RAM and it will not even send the 5 bells at the beginning of the boot sequence. It probably has no Unix swap space at all so I will just need to find about 190 megs of RAM so it can build its RAM disks.
