Ohh, I forgot: And you cannot save that segment from within Linux with 2.4.x.. There is no support for Rob-style mixed mode segments there. Either you save yoursef using #cp defseg and #cp saveseg commands again when linux is running and after you did mkswap, or you use Robs polished execs that set up the swap segment. However, with 2.4.x. you can load those segments and swap to them at least...
