with that much ran, I'd stick with 128mb swap.. only 8.1 and before 2.4 kernels needed twice the ram..
8.2 with hardly every use swap if you have 512mb ram... so don't waste hard drive space on a swap you'll never completly use. (unless you run a huge heap of ram intensive applications at the same time. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Peter Watson Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2002 7:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Swap file sizing Hi folks I'm about to install LM on a new machine with 512Kb RAM. On my old machine I only had 64Kb and used a swap file of 128Kb. I've read in lots of places that I should have a swap file of twice my RAM up to a limit of 512Kb. However, it never says whether this limit applies to the RAM or the swap file. With 512Kb RAM should I have a swap file of 512Kb or 1024Kb? TIA petew
