OOOH! Good idea. I hadn't thought of that approach. Id probably
want to hack the kernel to tell it that /tmp should _STAY_ swapped
as much as possible. Of course, having 96 megs helps that way too. :-P
(My friend is trying to fill a sparc up with memory-- He's up to
96 and I think he can double that. Or at least he want's to.)
