hey, mrs peanut, yes from livecd i had to swapon every boot, im trying to frugal install with a swap partition (get rif of the win98 partition time ago), but cant make it work, just think as i write this,maybe i need format the swap partition, rigth? how can i do that from linux?

wonderful roberts, thank you. a LOT. Cant wait for DSL 3.1, i give up some dsl cds to my friends to revive their old pc and laptop, all love DSL.

Now, i understand why DSL is so great, the creator look his work, listen the users and make it better, dsl is a masterpiece, and the artist behind it love his work. Take that Bill. Gates you need lessons from him.

if you run sudo cfdisk from the terminal it should give you a list of your partitions.
i created swap of 256mb on hda1 . and left the rest as freespace if i remember. i clicked to write the partition table then exited back to live dsl. from the menu i then did the frugal install, and that should be it.
dsl frugal should then be on hda2 and when i rebooted without the live cd it loaded up and recognised the swap.

i'm about to do it again on a different pc, so i hope i,ve remembered correctly!

p.s i seem to have two swap partitions now,a primary and logical!
dont know how that happened,but it still works!
