At least if the Extensions are loaded from the Harddisk (boot option tce=hdax) Tiny Core Linux should boot with a enabled Swap partition.

For me TC has always used my available swap partitions like it should.

Note that they are not mounted the usual way. If you type "free" in a console, do you see your swap? Another way is "cat /proc/swaps"

Thanks for the Tip.
By typing the command "free" in the console i can see now that realy TC has booted with the enabled swap partition.
Maybe this Information should be showed also under the Tab "Filesystem" in the Stats Application.

The problem looks for me like i dont have sufficient ram and swap memory.

Thanks for the help.

curaga:
Indeed 500 megs might not be enough for the heaviest compiles, such as glibc. I'm surprised svn was so heavy though. For these compiles, it's better to do them on a hard disk so that ram/swap is not used for the actual files.

Juanito:
Both glibc and oo required more than 1gb of ram - I compiled these by using space on a usb stick (not good for the longetivity of the stick, I know, but needs must).

BTW the modified svn, which didn't require much ram at all, has been posted for a few days now (works with http://)
