Okay Folks,
Some people, for work reasons, need to have Windows/Word on their PC
(consolations accepted, thanks...).
My HD is not large enough to put aside room for dos, windows & apps,
12Mb of Windows Swap space, linux and linux swap space. (indeed, if truth
were to be known, I cannot afford a linux partition at all yet).
However, looking into the future, where I have finished Ultima, and can
grit my teeth and remove xwing from the HD, I will have almost enough
space except for the swap partition.
Since I will not be using both Windows and Linux at the same time I
wondered if any of the NetGuru's out there had thought of sharing a swapfile
between them.
As far as I can figure out, It consists of a whole number of HD cylinders
assigned sequentially on the disk, with a directory entry to stop DOG
programs from overwriting it.
Just a thought...
Tim
