Not swap files, but raw swap parittions... I have a single 35 MB partition to swap (only swap) DOS uses a swap file... In linux, I remove all swap files, and then dd into gzip to save it, mkswap, and swapon. On shutdown , I swapoff and zcat the old saved image back into the /dev/swap-partition. I want to use the same approach with other os's...it works well. -- marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom
