Subject:   Memory upgrade and resizing the /swap partition ...
Message-ID:  <000a01c60ada$0b76c840$2401a8c0@XGISH>

I just upgraded my laptop from 512MB to 1024MB memory.

It is said that the /swap partition has to be at least as much as the =
maximum available memory, but my current value is still based on the old =
512MB size.

Can I increase the size of the existing swap partition or do I have to =
create a new one? If I have to create a new one, how do I do this and =
how can I reclaim the unused old swap area?

Thanks alot in advance.
