I am booting on a machine with 8 Meg of virtual memory. Does booting 
single-user hurd actually require that much memory? Why? I mean isn't that a 
little on the high side? Actually I'm trying to boot hurd to enable swap - I 
guess I'll have to take the hard disk out again and put it in my computer to 
enable swap from there - I was hopping to avoid that ;).

Thanks for your help,
