This will waste 128 MB of space. Unless things have changed, the largest usable size for a single swap partition is 128 MB.

IF I was making a server for others use, I would also keep sepearte /var and /tmp partitions arround. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net "When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missle at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.
