Okey then. I think i read your mind and understanded what you meant :)
The image uploaded to
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6417512/Hurd/debian-hurd-03102010-qemu.img.tar.gz
was done using the latter command,
dd if=/dev/zero of=debian-hurd-03102010-qemu.img seek=2146959359 bs=1 count=1
So, now i'm trying to guess how to use that space that "can't be seen" for create a
Swap area.
Thanks you very much, Samuel.
Regards.
Jose.
