You could always delete them all and, if you're running Debian, install the swapspace package which will dynamically create, resize and remove swap files in your current file system. This way, you don't need a swap partition, but your machine will still have the benefit of swap, which will help to keep it performing properly. Since this is a general Linux question, and not an accessibility or braille-related, question, you might get more responses by subscribing to a Linux user's group or similar forum and asking such questions there. The command to resize your Linux file system depends on which file system you chose during installation. If you're using ext3, which is most likely, there is a command to resize the file system which I would have to go and look up (I use the XFS file system myself, rather than ext3, and thus I don't have the ext3 tools installed here). _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
