Hi all

"top" response:
Mem: 312508k total, 302372k used, 10136k free, 17528k buffers
Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 155416k cached

/etc/fstab:
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=
OóÈ0Ñp½½?ã"0 swap swap defaults 1 1

I am sure something is wrong in /etc/fstab
how to fix it?

Thank you all

did you properly set up the swap?
i think you could just change this line:
LABEL=OóÈ0Ñp½½?ã"0 swap swap defaults 1 1
to:
/dev/swapDevice swap swap defaults 1 1
where swapDevice is the partition created for your swapping. if you dont have one use the 'mkswap' command to create one and 'swapon' to enable it.
