Message-ID: <BsDzMo.1ru@chinet.chi.il.us> Keywords: swap Organization: Chinet - Public Access UNIX Date: Mon, 3 Aug 1992 02:44:47 GMT Lines: 16 Well, I now have proof that the stock 5 meg swap partition created with the 0.1 install disk is not enough. I added a second disk and gave it another 5 megs of swap (I have 8 megs memory) using swapon. I then compiled libc, and during the ar phase (after creating all the .po's) the second drive started blinking like mad. Also during the nroff -mandoc of the man files. The compile did finish. Any idea on what the recommended total swap size for 8 megs and 16 megs of memory is? -- I am created Shiva the Destroyer; Death, the shatterer of worlds! Who is this dog meat who stands before me now? That's the biz, sweetheart. Randy Suess randy@chinet.chi.il.us
