Reading the mkswap man page- why are you trying to use it on a file? Shouldn't it be used on a partition? And if you are using it on a partition, are you running as root? And if so, is your partition set to be a swap partition? If all that doesn't work, just use Debian or Ubuntu. :) ~maru _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
