Hello,

I have asked this before without a response and hope this one will be clear
enough to get a response

I set bsd up using the automatic settings which defaulted to double my  physical
ram.
I am trying to determine if  a 500+mb swap is actually necessary with that much
or if I can just make one thats is linux style (e.g equal to my physical mem of
256)

I have consulted the online hand book, all the .txt  and faq's and I have found
nothing to illuminate this subject.

thanks for your time

Jim
