However, when I force it to ignore it, it stops and says it ran out of space. I'd just rather it didn't use swap anyway. Either way, OOo and LOo used to need lots of space. I think there was some code cleanup and maybe some other changes that reduced that a lot. I think there was also some gcc changes to but not sure on that. I did some more searching after my last post, at one point it looked for at least 12GBs from what I found. That was the largest setting I found.
