fdisk




i'm trying to eliminate one partition (accidentally i made two swap
partitions.. i'm a newbie).  ran fdisk, edited fstab so far so good. 
rebooted ok.  so far so good.

i typed df and the freed up space (25 megs) still doesn't show up.  

any suggestions in fdisk?  basically i deleted the partition, typed "w"
and quit.  did i miss something?

It looks like you deleted the extra partition.  But unless you also
delete your main partition, and then re-create it with the extra space
free'd up by deleting the extra partition you won't be using that
extra space.  Your main partition didn't grow any just because you
deleted a swap partition.  You simply have 25m of unused space on your
disk now.
