I recently added a second swap partition on my system (I was occasionally getting the "out of swap" messages, too). Added in quite easily, really. I just used Partition Magic to free up some space on my DOS drive, created a BSD partition, labeled it and added it to my /etc/fstab (also had to do a MAKEDEV wd0s2b for it, but that's no problem). Works great, and I *seriously* doubt I'll be running out of swap anymore (I added another 124 megs in the new partition). :-) -- Conrad Sabatier http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads/
