Linux swap areas have a magic number at the front as I recall, as a sanity/safety check. Use by another OS may damage that. It's won't harm either OS, but Linux may decline to use the swap area if that number gets overwritten. Try it - it's a safe experiment. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ "GOD IS MY SOURCE" - Bumper sticker, Chapel Hill, NC I'll have to remember that one for the next code review meeting. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Alain van der Heide) -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
