Has anybody gotten some experience with this? Thanks...again!
As long as swap is larger than ram, suspend should be OK with it. Of course it is imposible to have 4 primary partitions if you have any logical partitions since the logical partitions all share a primary slot. Is /home by any change logical too? If not, you probably don't have a swap partition since there was nowhere to put it. There is of course no reason /home should be a primary partition anyhow. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
