How to enable the RAM/SWAP hack of DSL-v2.0?
I have a frugal install on a Dell Latitude XPI with 22 MB RAM and if I boot DSL only single user mode works good, X refuses to start if chosen because of low memory.
edit 2005-12-20: Found out, that X does not start because of no fbdev available. I have to load fb16vga by hand, then I can use Xfbdev. Or I choose Xvesa, then X starts also. But because of small grafik memory X is unusable, see my other post at http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=10356 Nevertheless I still wonder about the Mem/Swap hack...
When having read the Changelog of DSL-v2.0 I thought it automatically added SWAP to RAM, but it doesn't.
...or, when having misunderstood the feature of this hack, what does it do?
regards, killerhippy
