What is more surprising to me (and the reason I didn't realize I was running out of memory), was that the kernel did not free the 1 GB of memory used by the page cache. Why? After I killed Compiz (to free up 1.6 gigs of VM) and Firefox (to free up another .6 gigs), the system became responsive again, but the swap usage stayed at 99.9%. (I understand that once swap is allocated to an app, it stays allocated until the app exits, even if the data is paged into RAM.) I tried to force all the apps back into memory (better get it all out of the way at once instead of suffer swapin delays when you need to switch between apps), but swapoff -a failed: swapoff: /dev/sda5: Cannot allocate memory I'm heading over to Launchpad to look for Compiz memory leak bugs.

I would try the 64 bit build. If he is just considering 64 bit build because he has a 64 bit machine... I would pass and use the 32 bit build. It's as simple as that. Don't use 64 bit build unless you really have a requirement for supporting 64 bit data sets.

Like Thorny has said to me and so many others its merely a question of using clarity and specifics. I doubt with just the typed word I could even do it now without attachments. I sent Thorny a post not asking help just because I could finally make my case with attachments. Like always I appreciate your help. As for the error 15 thing for me at least its merely a question of mounting and unmounting the USB 160GB correctly. Grub and MBR are on my sda1 and if I am not mistaken in the first 512 bytes of that partition. Again thanks and I will let Thorny comment if he cares to as his typed word has more clarity then mine. He can talk Linux and I have not gotten there yet.
