It should read "twice the amount of memory, up to 1 GB of swap." In general, you should *never* need that amount of swap. There was a recent thread where Greg Folkert mentioned a situation which he encountered where a system had 128 GB of swap. That is *extremely* rare. So, unless you are running massive batch jobs overnight which will greatly exceed your available physical memory, 1GB of swap should be more than sufficient. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
