Hallo all,
Over the weekend I re-installed Linux onto bigger faster drives and I wanted
to give Linux a 24 MB swap partition. mkfs, OK. mkswap, OK. swapon, wait a
minute. It told me it had added about 16 MB. Is there a 16 MB limit on swap
partitions?
I now have 4 SCSI drives in my 486. Linux on 2 (Rodime 3000T 100 MB and a
Quantum Prodrive 200 MB) and DOS on the other 2 (I need 160 MB just for my
games <g>). Every thing works fine. On the Rodime I only have Minix partitions
and on the Quantum I'm trying the Extended FS. So far no problems. Mounting
the DOS partitions also works in any part of the directory tree. This is
with 98.1 and the SCSI speedup code from Eric Youngdale. Just thought I'd let
you know that it works. I can hardly wait to try the REAL fast SCSI drivers.
And now to the real reason wy I'm posting. I have the sources for Xfree now,
the patches to version 1.1, the X8514 sources and 200 MB free space. Any
guesses as to what I have in mind<g>? I can't promise anything but on the
weekend I'll unpack it all and get started.
Oh yeah, my two cents on the split. LEAVE COMP.OS.LINUX ALONE.
Bye.
