i found dsl while venturing into the linux world (xubuntu was a no no on this old toshiba 320cdt) i am so impressed with ease of use and i adore fluxbox after only ever seeing the windows desktop.
i'm running the live cd with 96mb ram and have read that a swapfile will improve performance,
so can i set up a dos swapfile and still keep win98me (i mnt the hard drive for my files)?
i have searched and cant find enough info.

Something like this?
Code Sample
mount -t vfat /dev/hdb5 /mnt/hdb5 mkswap /mnt/hdb5/win386.swp swapon /mnt/hdb5/win386.swp
thanks, i'll give it a go, if win98 gets wrecked, its no big loss really.
the code from the above post didnt seem to work, so i tried setting it up from the menu. i now have a knoppix swap file on the win98 hda1, but its not being used. do i have to activate in some way, or have i not done it properly?If swapon was successful, the system should now know the swapfile is there. It won't use it until needed, but you can check your system stats (like torsmo)Next Page...
