Unsupported port of N800 software to 770: http://os2007on770.garage.maemo.org/ > What is swap? The device can use memory card to extend its memory. Because swap "memory" is written/read for disk instead of RAM, your device will get much slower when more of this memory gets used, but it helps in situations when you haven't got enough memory otherwise. For more information, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging You can enable swap from the control panel memory applet. Do not remove your memory card without disabling swap or your apps crash. - Eero > Thanks. > > -- Dave > > > On Dec 20, 2007 8:08 AM, Eero Tamminen <eero.tamminen at nokia.com> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> >> ext David Fass wrote: >>> Just wondering, is there any hope for stable applications on the 770, >>> or has that boat sailed?
