Another one with the same question.

I noticed that du reported a smaller file system capicity than the space
I left to 386bsd. Is that implying those MBs going to swapping? Since I
could see only one partition, if any swapping, it must be file swapping or
in an invisible partition. Am I right?

I didn't see any 'sw' in /etc/fstab neither.

Thanks go to Bill and Lynne! Well done!
