I have Mandrake 8.2 on a PC with one DVD Rom drive and one CD-RW.
Currently, DVD Rom drive is the master (hdc) and CD-RW is slave (hdd).
I want to swap the two CD drives around so that CD-RW is the master and

If you're using over 200MB of swap, your system would be moving slower than
some continents. There is nothing really _wrong_ in having over 200MB of

Use fdisk, cfdisk, or any other disk partitionner, and create a 250 MB

Then, initialize the swap partition :

No idea why...but MDK 7.02 using the AUTO CONFIGURE will make a single 250 MB
/swap on my 13 GB drive...I only have 64 MB Ram.
So I guess your theory is not entirely true...

I have read that a swap space partition cannot be larger than 128 Mb,
but at the same time it should apparently be 1.5 times the RAM size? Since
I have 192 Mb RAM, I guess I should have around 300 Mb swap space? Is this
correct? How can I do this if a single swap space cannot be larger

It will depend on the kinds of jobs that you'll be running on the
machine.
Linux will not use a swap partition over 128. if you need more swap
space, make two swap partitions.

I have 128 meg of RAM and a 128 meg swap file that I hardly ever use.

Dear friends:
Last question:
I have an AMD K6-2 400 Mhrtz with 128 megs of real RAM. Should I go for
a 128 swap file or a 256 swap file? Any special advantage to having a
256 swap file?
Thanks so much.

Well, now that I've already done the setup with the recommendation of
2.5 x my RAM as swap file size how can I quickly change that back down
to 100MB or so instead of my current 300MB?
