[parisc-linux] kernel compile

[Aaron St. Pierre]

Paul, 	
	My root filesystem is 250MB. 

	parisc:~# df -kh
	Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
	/dev/sda2             231M   52M  168M  24% /
	/dev/sda5             1.9G  212M  1.6G  12% /var
	/dev/sda6             2.8G 1009M  1.7G  38% /usr

	Don't know if you saw the thread, but for some reason 2.5.58 
	boots, there are problems after, which is expected with a 
	development kernel, but it boots nonetheless and that is hopeful :) 

	Is there perhaps some other way I should be organizing my swap and
	filesystems ? I followed the instructions from
	http://www.parisc-linux.org/software/install.html. 

	Thanks
