Howdy, I installed a PC with 128MB of RAM running Linux kernel 2.0.34 I added the append="mem=128M" line to lilo.conf so the system realy sees 128M of RAM. Since I normaly use the rule SWAP=MEM*2 on SUN and SGI I created a swappartition of 256MB and did mkswap and... got only 130MB. Why can't I use 256MB of swap? Swap partition size is limited to 128M, but you can have up to 16 of them. Just create 2*128M partitions and you're set... OK ps Do you really need 256M swap?
