Berkeley, CS Undergraduate Association Lines: 11 NNTP-Posting-Host: soda.berkeley.edu To add swap space, the device needs to be compiled into the kernel in advance, even if you don't plan to use it. It reserves space in it's swap space map for this (so eventually it can interleave them). Actually, this code is out of date, because the original system used resource maps with compile time determined sizes. It really does not need to do this anymore, I'd forgotten about it until you mentioned the matter. One more thing for the TODO list ... LO|~?~?~?~?MBill.
