Hi.

Kind of a newbee's question but..What is the configuration of swapping
when bsd is installed using the "whole disk" option from the "install"
command which the boot disk offers? Is there a partition created and
if so how big? 

Is there a command which gives the amount of remaining virtual memory.
e.g. pstat under SunOS? 

Also, I really dont want to get into repartition my disk from scratch
(I dont know how and really dont want to take the time to learn, but
if I must, I will). SunOS offers an option which allows the system to
swap on a file, but it seems that 386bsd dosent offer this?

thanks,
mike.
