That means it's not finding at least 11 megs available on the root ( / ) 
file system. What is the output of 'df'?

That's the device for the swap file. It's not unusual to have a swap 
partition that's 440 megs. I have a 1 gig swap partition. For no other 
reason than I have a 40 gig drive, and I'd rather not run out of memory. 
Even virtual memory.
