what are you planning to use the machine for? for virtually any system with 256MB of ram 300MB of swap is more then enough. I would not reccomend using a 500MB hd for swap it would be too slow. if your planning to use a lot of swap get a very fast disk otherwise the system will run like a dog. or better yet just get more ram. my laptop has 256MB ram and I have 200MB swap allocated towards it, at the moment I am using 60MB of swap, but have 165MB of available RAM. When the laptop gets around ~100-120MB of swap it really can get too slow to be very usable since the disk is thrashing so hard. but your question/answer is correct that is what you'd do, be sure to run mkswap on the drive ... just realize the system will probably be unusuable if your using much swap on such a slow device! nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
