- Firstly, kudos (!) to Linus on the great job with the .97 release. I
- was grudging the upgrade (had been using .95c+) but went smooth and
- was well worth it! Furthermore, upgraded to the .97 version of the root
- (which saved about 4megs of disk space!) which is also much better.
- Great job guys!
-
- I am now in the process of getting the kernel to compile however I am getting
- some strange results. I am using a 2M swap file (NOT partition). I get
- some errors during swaps like:
- rw_swap: bad swapfile
-
- This occurs during compilation using gcc 2.2.2d with 4M RAM and 2M swap.
- Any ideas? Thanks.
