Are you sure about how you have these drives connected? Dedicating a drive as swap would probably speed your system, as that drive's hardware would be able to handle swapping while other things were happening elsewhere, instead of interrupting some other disk activity to do it. I run /, /home, and swap partitions. Make /home it's own partition for safety and convenience. There are reasons to have other partitions, and I don't have strong ideas about them. Are you sure about your drive layout? Cheers, Bret -- bwaldow at alum.mit.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
