       (...) Got it. I couldn't figure out how to add a swap *file* in Free BSD, so I'm rendering it on a Sparc5. It's still parsing... It's hovering around 820MB right now.

     (...) You can do it this way: dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=768000 mkswap -v1 swapfile sync swapon swapfile Note that on a 2.0 series kernel, the max size of a swap space is 128M. You'll need something 2.2 or so. (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: Datsville overview —Matthew Miller
      Oh; wasn't paying attention. If you've actually got an unused partition, skip the dd stuff, and just mkswap it. (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
