I stand corrected. However, I think it's reasonable to expect people to be specific about the kernel version if they are referring to such an old kernel. To that end it should have read "...a single swap partition could not be larger than 128mb..." Linux 2.0 is more than half of linux's lifetime ago... :-) HAns
