makewhatis and out of virtual memory?!
Hi guys.
I have just finished fine-tweaking my newly installed RedHat Picaso 3.0.3
and it is great, but I have one un-solved problem.
I was trying to run "makewhatis" to, well, make what is ;-) and after a
half an hour of grinding my HD, it halted, crying: "Out of virtual memory".
Now I have 8 megs, a 24 megs swap space and the damn box was doing
nothing else at the time, execpt the usuall deamons (no X, no nothing).
I had no trouble before to "makewhatis" on my old slackware 2.3 (with
only 16 megs swap apce) so i don't see whats the problem.
Anyone?
BTW kernel is 1.2.13, running on a i586.
