Depends, is that 2.2 or 2.4? If 2.4, you should be ok, but keep an eye on the swap usage. > is it better to repartition to create a larger single swap or just > add a 2nd swap partition? > if you have multiple drives, by all means, put a swap on the second one. Though, a second partition on the drive that isn't next to the other swap will mean more head movement. I'd say, keep your partitions, and add a swap file. There is a priority setting you can put in /etc/fstab that will make the kernel use one swap before another. Do a search on google. Mike
