- hi everyone,

- 1. when i boot up linux using the floppy disk, i see the following messages:
- Warning WD8013 board not found at i/o = 280.
- ioctl: invalid argument
- are they normal?
-
- 2. i set up a 10MB swap partition using fdisk by specifing it as a Linux swap
- partition. how do i know that linux is using it as swap memory? how can
- i check the current free memory?
-
- 3. how can i change the node name from "softland" to something i like?
