This is a standalone Pentium II (350 MhZ) 128MB ram and 120MB of device swap. There are no jobs running on my system. I am running FreeBSD 3.0 How do i add more swap space to my system? Although, i would think that there was no need for this at this time. I did try to use "mkfile" but it does not seem to be supported. Or do i have configuration problem? Please help. i just succeeded in connecting to the internet and would very much like to start using this system seriously.
