Hi Guys and Gals,
I was wondering how to mount a new Swap partion.
When I originally did my install of Mandrake I made the swap 128meg, and it
should be at least double that (my physical memory is 128meg). What I want to
do is create a new 256 meg partition, format it as a Swap and then mount it
on my machine.
What do I do? Also doest it matter where the swap partition physically
resides on the drive? I was told it should be one of the first partitions. I
do have Windows 2000 partition and a spare FAT32 partition which are created
on a logical drive.
This is my drive....
