If you're running out of swap space, it's extremely easy to add more. Do a: df -k to check your disk space then as root: cd /usr mkdir swap cd /usr/swap /etc/mkfile 500m /usr/swap/swap1 /sbin/swap -a /usr/swap/swap1 tada! you have 500 more megs of virtual memory to render your project. When you're done and you want to remove it just: /sbin/swap -d /swap/swap1 cd /usr/swap rm swap1 if you want to permanently allocate the HD space as swap space, use your favorite editor to pop into /etc/fstab and add: /usr/swap/swap1 swap swap pri=3 0 0 Obviously if you want to add something other than 500m, just use the appropriate size when you make the file and if you want to put the swap file someplace other than usr, say an external HD or another machine, just put the swapfile in the appropriate place and make sure you point the system to it.
