- Hi,
-
- I installed Linux from the SLS 0.98pl6 distribution. First thing I did
- was to make a swap file with 32M (I have used Interactive before and I
- know that I need that much). When I add the swap space, however, Linux
- says "16M swap space added", and `free -m' confirms this.
-
- Where have my other 16M precious disk space gone? Is it not possible to
- have swap files (or partitions) > 16M? If so, why?
-
- (Please answer by e-mail, I try to read this group, but with all this
- traffic I sometimes miss articles.)
-
- Thanks
-
- Michael
