Good question.

I have never tried to use a windows swap file for DSL purposes.

I suppose if you REALLY wanted to save disk space you could give it a try.

However, my advice is to leave your Windows swap file to the old size and create a new linux swap file using the procedures that are described here or elsewhere. The linux swap file setup is done while you are booted up and running linux.

i'm not having much luck figuring out how to make use of the virtual memory

if someone wants to lay it all out, i would be willing to try, but for right now, i'm giving up.

A month ago, awphuch posted this link in a forum message:

or you could use Modrak's script:

and another link:

I'm getting similar problems with a Toshiba Satellite Pro 420CDT: Coincidence? :laugh:

I'm getting some "kernel paging request" errors when trying to boot with fb800x600, and failsafe returns with an "interrupt handler" error. Suffice to say with my limited knowledge of linux and googling skills, I'm coming up dry...

Any thoughts (other than bin the lappy or reinstall 9x) would be appreciated. :cool:

looks like I was right, it increased the size. The new size is 65, 536 KB.

Will DSL make use of a Windows SWP file?

I dont think its the same thing man...
Might check it to see if it does...however I dont think those are the exact same files
