Hmnmm, which Linux are you using? (I use slackware, myself).

First, have you activated your swap space? did you even partition your 
harddrive to allow swap space? Having partitioned your harddrive to allow 
swap space, did you mount a secondary partition for your data/wares space?

Tell us exactly what you did, please, at least the four or five steps 
right before you started going nowhere...
