- This means you are using none at all.
-
- You can't decrease it to something outrageous (like 10 blocks) 'cause there
- comes a point where even if you aren't using Swap, A/UX (and other UNIXs)
- get nervous about how much it has "left" in case it _will_ need it.
-
-
- Actually, I think it could be safe to go down to something like
- 8192 blocks. You'll have to experiment.
-
- Do you really have to have a swap partition? I'd be just as happy
- without one in my 36 MB of memory for a non-networked single-user
- machine. How happy would the kernel be?
