Adding swapfiles is technically easy, however, people mostly agree it ist not the best idea to run swap on FLASH storage like usb-pendrives or CF-cards due to the limited write cycles. If you still want to do it, you can a) partition your pendrive and add a swap partition, e.g. /dev/sdb1, then do 'mkswap /dev/sdb1' and add it to /etc/fstab like anywhere else. b) mount the pendrive and add a swapfile to it, add the swapfile to /etc/fstab just like on a normal Debian installation wrapped in 'remountrw' and 'remountro'. http://wiki.debian.org/Swap Regards, Adrian -- LiHAS - Adrian Reyer - Hessenwiesenstraße 10 - D-70565 Stuttgart Fon: +49 (7 11) 78 28 50 90 - Fax: +49 (7 11) 78 28 50 91 Mail: [email protected] - Web: http://lihas.de Linux, Netzwerke, Consulting & Support - USt-ID: DE 227 816 626 Stuttgart _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list [email protected] http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
