I am familier with a 3B2 and know how to do it When I added my first big hard disk everything went fine. We I added the second, I had no control over the swap space. After checking, I found that the disk format in the 2.x version had a request for swap space size, and the 3.0 doesn't seem to. Perhaps it would "confuse the user". I have no idea what's in the 3.5 version, I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade or buy hardware. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {chinet | philabs | sesimo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
