Yeah, I agree. Isn't it possible to create multiple swap partitions though? Infact, this makes more sense, in some ways, because you are utilizing different devices, and, if you can swing it so that you put your main swap on a different disk than the one that gets the most use, you can speed things up... Correct? I think the size should be increased, though. -- David Welton http://www.efn.org/~davidw Debian GNU/Linux - www.debian.org
