OK. (Mentally, VM == virtual memory and LVM == Logical Volume
Manager, to me.)

More toys. Yay!

.92 is running at about 1GB right now. Half of that is due
to the /usr/src tree. Another 300MB is due to the apt cache.
In comparison, .91 has used about 5GB with about 300MB under
/usr/src.

300MB will be tight, but doable.
