I disabled it in my (alpha?) build for internal use, because it was unuseful for me. Possible, it'll require to update pcmcia and iscsi packages in tree. About swap - LEAF now use less than 64 MB RAM (on my test box with OSPF/SNMP/PPTP/PPPoE - ~55 MB for code + tmpfs and ~18MB cache, totally ~73MB) - so will swap be useful for somebody, if 128M RAM will be more than enough for typical LEAF box? Anybody will use less than 64M SDRAM on the PPro/P2+ box (due to optimization for i686)? Or it'll be a dead code in kernel, and dead code in .lrp (e2fsprogs' mkswap)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
