Just a couple of questions...
 
Hello every 1.
I am just asking i am ving 128 ram how much can i make swap????
another thing from where i can download Kmail and a good download accelerator THNXZ ALOT PPL.:D :D

Swap is normally twice your physical RAM (ie 256mb in your case). Kmail is available on your instal disks or, since you are a Mandrake user, drop into a console, and as root, type urpmi kmail.

Don't know about the accelerator as I don't use them.

if I make swap 64 MB when my RAM is 128 MB...
is there any problem..

No problem, but you aren't giving your self much memory You may notice your computer start to slow down more than you would if you had more memory/swap once you have a lot of programs/services running.

As for a download accelerator - I tend to use wget:
wget http://ahost/afile

It doesn't increase the speed much but it is great for resuming dropped or broken connections. It can also do spidered (recursive) downloads too.
