hi, an other issue concerning swap:
with the old version, i manually created a swap partition as a 64(or less) MB at the end of the device. so if the area fails duo heavy usage it does not interfere with the first partition and my MMC card will only "loose" the last 64MB and the rest will not become unusable. it would be nice to have on option to manually select the swap partition in the gui (control panel). regards marvin On Mon, June 12, 2006 14:18, Kimmo Hämäläinen wrote: > On Sat, 2006-06-10 at 17:35, ext Laurent MARTIN wrote: > >> Hi! >> I've just installed the OS2006 beta and I'm not sure how I should >> format my 1Gb RSMMC card to enable built-in "virtual memory" mechanism.
