All, Thanks to eveyone who responded to my question on how to extend my swap space. My only problem now is using fdisk to create a new swap space. I did a 'man' on fdisk to understand it's usage and this is what I came up with, but I am still unable to create the partition. (This partition stuff is definitely not for newbies). fdisk -s 133056 /dev/hda4 error msg: unable to open 133056 What am I doing wrong? Here is my current partition settings: Device Name Frm To Blocks Partition Type ----------- --- -- ------ -------------- /dev/hda1 1 5 20128 83 Linux Native /dev/hda2 6 38 133056 82 Linux Swap /dev/hda3 39 1023 3971520 83 Linux Native TIA, Daniel N. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
