I'll give that a try when my build host is done with its current tasks. The hope was to emulate a bigger, faster machine than I physically have. I have 2 real SS-5/110 systems w/256MB each (and 2 real SS-20s with 448MB plus 4MB VSIMM each--one with dual SM-61s and the other with a single dual-CPU ROSS HyperSPARC module at 125MHz. I just have nowhere to get the SS-20s out and set them up (plus power/heat issues)). > Then I added second disk and set it up in guest as swap. My disk image is 9.1GB and partition "b" is configured as swap. Is there advantage to using a separate disk (image) for swap? -- |/"\ John D.
