3G  :-)

Well actually, 4G but iCandy can't see the rest.

I've set the swap off, and lots of other things but I still end up with a
scattering of red files around the middle of the disc.

My major happy discovery is that iCandy now includes a facility to shrink
its own partition.  Using that I've managed to recover 50G for a test
installation and it's looking very nice (Lenny AMD64).  I'll decide later
whether to scrub iCandy entirely.  I'll have to do that if I can't shrink
the partition further.

Cheers,
John
