By default the swap partition size is double the ram, so if you have 512 MB of Ram, then your swap partition will be 1024 MB, 256 MB then 512 MB will be your swap partition size, and so on 3000MB -1080MB --------- 1920 MB swap ? - 1024 MB --------- 896 MB - 100 MB /boot partition ? --------- 796 MB ??? There should be enough space unless you have 1024 MB of ram which would give you a swap of 2048 for which definitely would need more space. Sorry if none of this makes sense, System was previously partitioned and you are keeping a / (root ) partition. Do not know, hopefully someone will provide a better answer, or simply state that there is not enough information to determine what is wrong. Run $ fdisk -l to see how the disk is partitioned and better answer your question. Best Regards, Antonio __________________________________ Yahoo!
