Which begs the next question... howsabout if I turn swap off as part of the hibernation process? I.e. in /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf include the lines... OnSuspend 00 swapoff /dev/sda6 OnResume 00 swapon /dev/sda6 or for that matter, what's the worst that can happen if I turn off swap alltogether, and run out of memory? Is it catastrophic, or merely inconvenient (additional programs refuse to launch)? -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
