Hi all I am a newbie running Slackware10.2. I was just going through a book that I downloaded from TLDP. It showed a few steps for creating swap files. Something like this
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/extra-swap bs=1024 count=1024 $ mkswap /extra-swap 1024 $ swapon /extra-swap I still do not understand these commands fully, but I already have a 300MB swap partition for Linux, which to the best of my knowledge was never actually used, it is just sitting there. So I was wandering if it is possible to make a separate partition for swap files which can be used by both XP & Linux on my dual boot PC. If such a swap partition is possible, then can someone please advise me on how to implement it. Any link will also be appreciated. Thanks Emon ------------------------ Yahoo!
