I just checked this and it doesn't seem to be the problem.  Now maybe
there is something wrong with my calculations.  According to fdisk the
partitions look like this:

- -------------------------------------------------
Disk /dev/hdc: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdc1   *           1        4620    37110118+  83  Linux
/dev/hdc2            4621        4864     1959930   82  Linux swap / Solaris
- -------------------------------------------------

I figured the number of bytes I had in swap was:

(4864 - 4621) * 8225280 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 1.861474514 GB

My laptop only has 1 GB of ram (it can't take anymore).  So I think I'm OK
here.  Is there any other possibility?

Thanks for your help.
