Re: [TCLUG:1704] swap partition question

[UserCx@aol.com]

Here is what I did to get X to respond quicker but it didnot help too much !

Create the partition and set it to type Swap.
run :
mkswap -c /dev/hda? size (as you see it from fdisk when you create it.)

The -c will format the partition.

Enable the swap space:
swapon /dev/hda?

Where the hda? is the partion name.

Run "top" and look at the memory information. You might be able to 
see it from one of the /proc/ files.
