Actually, even with two different linux installations under dual-boot, you only need one swap partition: They can usually share :-) (unless you do suspend-to-disk). >From within a running Linux system, you can see the active swap partitions/files using: # swapon -s or $ cat /proc/swaps Hope this helps -- Karl E.
