Thanks for the help, Colin! This wasn't directly it, but you were really close... I (or the snapshot netinst CD) must have screwed something up during installation, because my swap partition was not in use, and I had no swap. I turned it on, and now everything works like a charm! Damn, that wasn't the the most obvious place for me to look...:) Too bad a clearer error message wasn't given. I've also looked in my logs, but didn't find anything. I'd think this should show any out of memory stuff: debian:/var/log# grep -i out * | grep -i mem debian:/var/log# grep -i oom * debian:/var/log# Anyway, it's sorted now, so thanks again!
