The -questions group can't get much better than reading my mind or anticipating questions! I'm still on 2.2.8 and I'm guessing that the installation program will tell me what the /dev/sdsXb is, right? Currently, this is in /etc/fstab:: /dev/sd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 so after I've added swap to the new drive this should read /dev/sd2s1b none swap sw 0 0 (?) Until I read your mail (or Greg's), I thought I was stuck with only 32M of swap. I've got 128M of DIMM. thanks, people, gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
