Re: problems compaq contura 400CX laptop



hi,

i don't know what the error could mean but with the 2.2.x kernel you can
make the swap inside a ext2 partition as a file. and as i saw you have
not so much place on your hd i would recommend you this way so you can
resize it every time (to your usage).
