i hate to say this, but it didn't activate my swap on reboot.

makeing a edit in fstab doesn't work eighter, i have to do both the mkswap and swapon on reboot.

so what's next ?

And fdisk -l displays the partition as what type?
Should be type 82 "Linux Swap"

it is indeed 82

after running the mkswap and swapon it works like a sweet.
it only doesn't hold it after reboot.

Code Sample

/dev/hda1  *  1  608  83  linux
/dev/hda2   608  1216  82  linux-swap

I cannot reproduce your condition.
Works fine on several test machines.

You can always add those two lines to
/opt/bootlocal.sh

ok thz again.

This install of DSL i'm currently running is still a testversion for me to familiarize (pff hard word) myself with DSL and squid.

so i will reinstall it for final, and will try to reproduce it myself.
if i succeed i let you know how i did it. there might be a way to prevent it for other users (if needed)

i'll play with squid now for a couple of day's and forget about the swap till i know how to flawlessly install this combo.

i'll keep you updated
