XO: Success with 4 Gig Card

[Rich Sharples]

Agreed - you have to have swap - otherwise your machine will just hang 
when you try and run even the most trivial app.

Anyone know how to make the swap persistent ?

As well as disabling some applications 
(System|Preferences|Personal|Session) and Services - I've disabled 
SE-Linux - that frees up about 32Mb.
