Can you be more specific about how much space you're talking about? All of the standard system daemons together require about 3MB of swap space. They don't get paged out until they need to be, but once this happens, the space is allocated for them until they are killed. If you're running X, then the requirements are much higher (about 15MB of swap). -DG
