According to this article: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/550 You just need to install the package 'dphys-swapfile' which will automatically create and use a swap-file in /var/swap on next boot. Swap size will be twice the RAM size, which sounds good. Note: I haven't tried myself. This may wear out your NAND flash, the question is how long that takes. Will be an interesting test for the quality of the NanoNote's components :) cheers, David -- GnuPG public key: http://dvdkhlng.users.sourceforge.net/dk.gpg Fingerprint: B17A DC95 D293 657B 4205 D016 7DEF 5323 C174 7D40
