I did this and it worked fine. The only line I get at bootup now is "unable to find
module lp.o" I guess that the choice I have now is to recompile the kernal to get

of it?

Checked fstab -- no such line re: swap listed there. I'll have do dig out the man
page.

Is there a doc. explaining how to expand your partition to consume the swap
partition?

Done -- works perfect. Thanks again.
