Sure will add it. I was a bit confused, because if I
configured
my swap to be twice the size of my physical ram, my
whole hard drive
would be swap. Pretty pointless there.

Hey, I know enough about working with linux to tell
you if a device
exists or not. Its not there. Want a ls /dev >

for verification? No, That's easily forged. Should I
just ship my Mac to you?

Yes, woody is the future for Debian, its just looks
like I am sh*t out of
luck with my potato stuff for my Mac even though it
worked perfectly well
towards the end of last year. Don't have the luxury
of a fast connection to the net to install woody.
I'll pull
my how-to install potato on an SE/30. Too bad, the
SE/30 was a good
machine. Looks like there is no way for me, with my
resources, my setup,
my hardware, to determine if woody would work. I'll
let some other sucker dance with the debian devil.
Anyone want a maxed out SE/30? They make great
aquariums.

I've never heard anything about properly name
partitions for installation to
complete. I always named my swap partition "swap"
Kinda intuitive, don't ya think?
Thanks for your help,
William
