When alocating swap memory you need to keep in mind that mroe then 128 on aq single drive will be a waste. Thus if you feel a need for more, use more drives. 'You can have a swap partition on each drive in your system. Indeed it is recomended in the documentation that you split the swap between drives for better performance. That being said, I have a 32 MB machine that runs fine. I have worked with 32 MB of swap on a single drive. I have done 32 MB swaps on both drives. No difference noted. But I don't really tax my system ever. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net The mind is like a parachute; it works much better when open. If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out.
