Try "bzip2 -sdc", which will tell bzip2 to reduce memory usage. Yes, it is |
| 10 |
quite odd that you are running out of memory with 64Mb, and may have more to do |
| 11 |
with the 2.4 kernels' tendency to use lots of swap, which you don't really have |
| 12 |
with the boot/root disk combo. I hope that "-sdc" works for you. If you still |
| 13 |
have problems, try enabling some swap first. |
