Bug Fix's
and
"automatically detect and use swap partitions on USB disks"
I'm implementing this now -- in the next version swap partitions on USB drives will be mounted automatically, and if that provides enough memory Tor will be enabled.
Also, it would be wrong to say that Tor "works" now on routers with < 64MB of memory, even though it is enabled in 1.5.1. That's the problem -- if Tor is enabled without enough memory the router crashes. The check is only to keep people from shooting themselves in the foot.

Check this:

You will need to use fdisk to repartition your HDD, when you have made a backup of the data that you need.
I have not yet used this on Gargoyle, but I can see that the included fdisk can be used.

Looks like 4 gig SWAP is a little excessive
Will reduce to 128MB

I've now split my USB thumb dive up
128 SWAP
3.x GIG fat32
unfortunately gargoyle no longer recognises the fat 32 partition
Thoughts?
