I just installed a 20gb drive (as its what I have right here). I
installed the Live CD so I could see whats on this drive. First off,
when I do almost anything I get an error saying nautlius has died and
there is not enough memory. System Monitor says Im using 191mb of 2gb
of ram, using 0bytes of 2.1gb swap. CPU is 6%.
