Thanks PB. I was not aware that the use of a linux swap file was independent from the use of Virtual Memory in Maemo. So I should disabled virtual memory if I want to use a swap partition in the way you describe?

....I have been searching for a way to trim down the size...
I looked at Xdialog, gdialog, kdialog, ssd, zenity, getgui, which are all gui menu kits like zenity in this package.
None of these are working for me or have so many deps its it ends up huge....
Thoughts suggestions ideas comments ???

I almost have everything rewritten, I am almost done with the backups, after that I have to rewrite the restore to handle the incremental backups and rewrite the bootmenu to use new tools. I may add additional gui menus again but for now this is working very nice small and clean.

But I like the graphical tools, I agree that it is bizarre that there is no small package that can make GUI widgets from the command line...

I will not be updating install-tools, bootmenu-installer or mgmt-tools any longer. install-tools will not be updated to support 43-7. mgmt-tools in theory should work if you update initfs flasher from the menu. I have not tested it. I am only supporting console-tools from here on out.
