In solaris:
If foo is a 1G *filesystem* then:

mkfile 768m /foo/swapfile
swap -a /foo/swapfile

would give you an additional 768 MB of virtual memory

I'm not sure about linux

Also, That zip file wasn't accessable, could you upload it to
ftp://ftp.brickshelf.com/incoming

?

I've run into a snag as far as doing new updates.  My PC
is giving me an out of memory error when I run the POV
file (despite 384MB of RAM).  Jacob's going to try it on
his server.

I have a bit of trouble with some PNG libraries that povray
seems to feel a large need for.

I found out how to solve the PNG problem - and that I only
have memory+swap space for the first 65608 lines of the
(65649 lines long) POV file.


I have an "unused"[1] 1 Gb partition on my disk. Can anybody
suggest how I can format and mount this partition as
(additional) swap space for Linux? There is a detail that
makes this a challenging adventure: the machine is in
Denmark and I am in France.


Play well,

Jacob
