Howdy,
I installed a PC with 128MB of RAM running Linux kernel 2.0.34
I added the append="mem=128M" line to lilo.conf so the system
realy sees 128M of RAM. Since I normaly use the rule SWAP=MEM*2
on SUN and SGI I created a swappartition of 256MB and did mkswap
and... got only 130MB. Why can't I use 256MB of swap?
Swap partition size is limited to 128M, but you can have
up to 16 of them. Just create 2*128M partitions and you're
set...
OK
ps Do you really need 256M swap?
