Have a Look to the boot-messages it will show You a line like: pmurmel kernel: Adding Swap: 63756k swap-space (priority -1) You can scroll the bootmessages on the text-console via press : <shift> <pgUp>, <shift> <pgDown> or have a look to the file '/etc/fstab' there must be a entry like: # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 but remember: if You configuring the System it will be added automatically, normally You don't must do this Yourself, the system does it for You, ;) the "partition-philosophy" much depend's on Your personally needs and, of course, of the MB's or GB's You will reserve for Unix. cYa -- Peter
