Re: how to make a temporary swap file

Hi,

For me it's going to low memory mode because of so low memory amout, even with a big swap, it will be quite slow and unusable. Why don't you try xubuntu ?
BTW, I don't see how creating a temporary swap will help to install not in low mem mode, can you explain more please ?

Good luck
