I don't recommend 3.0 for newbies; I started out with it and had trouble
with BETA bugs that I wasn't equipped to deal with as a newbie. See if
you have better luck with 2.2.7.

My 64MB (486/33 with 64MB ram...lopsided?) system also defaulted to 137MB,
and since I was coming from Linux, where I didn't need even need 64MB of
swap, I just made an 80MB swap partition. Since then, I've run out of
swap a couple times (during make -j10+ world, something we don't have in
Linux). I plan to increase it to 128MB+ with my next computer upgrade,
along with doubling my ram to 128MB, which I figure better be enough.
Be happy...
