It presents confusion (to me) in the use of mke2fs vs mkswap and I could not think of a s/ / / to replace it. This could indicate that a rewrite/clarification is in order. I suggest that: "If you are using an existing swap partition, there is no need to format it." warrants use of the NOTE formatting. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
