Re: [SLE] swap space question in 9.3 install
Sony Lies. Thats the max they sold it with, so as far as they are concerned its the max. Its well known their machines take more memory than they say.
Go to crucial.com and enter the machine model, and get a quote.
Firstly, let me apologize to all for the empty post. Lesson learned: don't use a Yahoo account on this list, Yahoo accounts suck for lists. I've changed email addresses. Anyhoo, Crucial doesn't seem to sell RDRAM memory. The cheapest I can find for a 128mb stick is $44 at Newegg. Still not worth it. According to Sony's website, the max memory this machine can take is 512MB (4 x 128MB sticks) so is that figure wrong? Also, I think I figured out my problem, SUSE wants the boot partition to be at the beginning of the disk, but right now the swap space is there. I think I'll boot Knoppix back up and put an ext3 partition at the beginning of the disk and put the swap after that. Unless I can do it with the 9.3 network install disk... Thanks -Nick

The first partition on my SuSE Linux box is a swap partition. Greg Wallace

Hmmm, odd I have no trouble at all with the many mailing lists I am on via my Yahoo address. Yes, I do access them all through the Yahoo web interface not through a POP reader. -- Take care. Kevan Farmer 34 Hill Street Cheslyn Hay Staffordshire WS6 7HR

I don't think that's a problem. But, if the BIOS is old, it might complaint if it lies beyond the 1024th cylinder. That's why not so long ago we had to create a small partition (a track or two) placed before track 1024. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFC4tdxtTMYHG2NR9URArpFAJwMHg87xT6Y1Gkk9EMPygRCLoSJEgCghxz7 u0Un2/zZa8bgUcTalA3kIh8= =L9T6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
