How much memory do you have? Noramly, the save-to-disk partition + some
extra megabytes. I think it is your save-to-disk-partition.

Yes it is. I deleted my safe-to-disk partition on my Sharp9090 (btw it
works great with Linux). I got a warning on bootup (save-to-disk was
turned on) but everything works fine. Of course you can't use save to
disk, but I can't with an save-to-disk-partition ether.
