James, All you should have to do is an ASCII FTP transfer of the file to the 191 disk of your guest, then edit PROFILE EXEC to add this: "SWAPGEN 300 sizeyouwant"
The Vdisk HOWTO was written before Sine Nomine generously contributed SWAPGEN to the community, so don't use that as a guide for what you're trying to do. (I should probably make a note of that on the HOWTO itself.)

Don't think he'll be back this week. I don't know enough about VM directly, myself, to install swapgen and make it work. I can find and edit profile exec, but i do not know how to 1) Put swapgen in the user directory 2) I do not know how to code the call for swapgen, so that it uses the device 300 as the target of operation. Our VM sysprog put the VDSK swap space at virtual device 300. I had been looking at the HOWTO vdiskswp.html but this is for a 2.2.16 system, as there is no /sbin/init.d/boot in SLES8. Anyway, I thought I could puzzle it out, but it seems to be eluding me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
