For reasons that probably aren't interesting, I needed to eliminate the Windows XP swap file from the "C:" NTFS parition of one of my multi-boot machines [no matter how cheap and fast disks get, partitions still seem to fill up, and backups still take too long].
That machine had a 2GB Linux swap partition. After googling for a while, I found a very slick solution that lets Windows XP use a Linux swap partition for swap/paging/vm/whatever-MS-calls-it: http://db.bme.hu/~surprof/SwapFs-i/ Maybe others who do a lot of multi-booting all know about swapfs, but my finding it took quite a bit of searching and chasing down useless google hits. Next time I need to find it, hopefully I'll be able to find this posting... -- Grant
