That would depend on how much RAM you actually use, but the general recommendation is to keep 10-20% free on the startup drive, depending on how much your system swaps due to low memory conditions. You're way short of that 100 GB (10%). -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
