True, but you're adding a layer (or more if you're using lvm) to the VM subsystem. The whole point of the swap partition is to simplify access to swapped pages and therefore make it very fast. Moreover, a swap partion is easily reusable between other Linuxes on the same box and although you can also reuse a swapfile, you'll need to mount the partition first. > you can always remove the windows partition ;) Windows can *sometimes* save your life :) Best regards, Norberto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
