Hi, Thanks! That was the info I needed. I ran mkswap, and it now refects the proper size of the swap file during bootup.
I could REALLY use some pointers to sites that have info on how to create a minimum startup configuration. I have been following the Bootdisk-HOWTO, but I am left with many questions. I am hoping that there are some sites out there that will explain how to create a minimum barebones system. I have created what I believe are the essential devices, and am using the simple /etc/inittab and /etc/rc from the howto. The system hangs after mounting the root system read only, giving no more clues. I am also confused about the boot.b and map files, and how they come into play, and how they are created. Pointers greatly welcomed! John ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
