That's my title - I'm still working my way into it, and I'm learning as fast as I can. Actually, no, I didn't know that. The last kernel I was familiar with (for about six months) was pre-2.0. Does that mean (and this applies to another thread along this line that's also going on around here I think) that we don't need a swap partition at all? Is the swap file automatic, or do we have to specify it (yeah, I know, rtfm, but where is t.f.m.?). Thanks. mhr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
