Did you know that RedHat > 5.2 claims you can't use more than 127 MB of swap? Because you can't. You can make a swap partition that's bigger, but it'll truncate it when it activates it, so you're just wasting disk space. If you want more, make multiple partitions. In the 2.2.x kernel you can have larger swap spaces, but RH5.2 is 2.0.36-based. --- tani hosokawa river styx internet To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
