When we set up our test systems, we usually put 1 2GB Swap partition for each real partition. Our systems usually have 3 or 4 versions of Linux on them at a time, so we end up with plenty of swap space to use, even with the 2GB maximum.

If you need more swap space, you have to setup multiple swap partitions. Cheers, -- Javier Gostling Av. Kennedy 5757, of. 1502 Ingeniero de Sistemas Las Condes, Santiago, Chile Virtualia S.A.
