One VERY annoying thing I noticed with system 7's virtual memory was that x
amount of HD space does not equal x amount of extra RAM. I got 7.0fc2 going and
then tried to add 3 megs of RAM to my 5 physical RAM. It worked all right, but
it took 8 megs of HD space to give me those extra 3 megs. Needless to say, I
removed it quickly since I only have 9 megs free anyways.
