No, he means that, if you want to have Linux use a swap-partition after The Hurd has used it, then *Linux* will require you to run `mkswap'
I was under the impression that mkswap was ported to GNU/Hurd. (sorry, Alfred--you got the name wrong; does this mean that The Hurd is running well enough for you that you don't neet to touch Linux anymore? :)) I'm almost there! If there happens to be a Linux swap-signature (or anything else ;)) ok the partition, it's likely to be gone by the time that The Hurd is done with the partition. This is not entierly true, swapon can care about the signature if you tell it to (the -s switch) Would you like to help us stop the confusing that Linux is an operating system by calling it GNU/Linux?
