hello, all!
i recently reported a problem with setting up my swapfile and it was
suggested i e-mail my /etc/rc.d/init.d/swap script. i have also included
my /etc/fstab file for completeness.
do these look correct?
the problem is that no disk space is allocated to my swapfile as reported
by the 'free' command.
thanks for any help.
