This works well, thanks. SLES10 by default looks for swapspace in fstab before boot.local runs. As a test I was able to bring up SLES10 with 40M with this config, so unless anything changes in the future regarding memory demand before the network connection starts, we should be OK. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
