If I remember correctly doing what I sent will extend it. Not the actual size if the existing but will allow for say a 128 meg swap to look and act as if it's a 256M swap. The only difference being that doing it the suggested way makes it have to go through the file system when the specified swap space is accessed. I do know that if you run 'top' after doing that it will show up as the sum of the two. Keith ================================= Keith W.
