thanks, thats the most thorough explation I've seen on this. Probably pressing my luck since this is not really topical for this group: /sda2 is already in use here: Do you know how the `RESUME' variable mentioned is accessed? Just put it in .bashrc or something... and what would one say on it? Some way to steer the dumping to your swap area maybe. Any idea what that would look like? _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list VBox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe: mailto:vbox-users-community-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net?subject=unsubscribe
