information is available. The system is scalable though; I managed to scal down the processor's speed as I wish; but no battery detection. What is wiered is that the power management applet detects whether or not the system runs on battery or not; but no time left estimation and no power managemen

usted. So if you ditch swap you would simply kill processes instead of getting slower (and using up battery). But maybe i'm wrong. But independent from the swap question, using ramdisks to save power is basically a nice idea. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject o

Thomas, this is a nice idea could you tell us if there are any implications running without swap ? Did you ever reach the limit, and what will happen ? And while we are at this, would you post your /tec/fstab line for the /tmp fs ? Again, did you ever reach the limit here ? My laptop is under h
