Keywords: Floppies and Swap Sender: news@cs.mu.OZ.AU Organization: Computer Science, University of Melbourne, Australia Date: Tue, 15 Dec 1992 08:31:39 GMT Lines: 20 Hi All, vegie problem stations again. I got XFree86 working, but now have had absolutely no luck in either of the following two: (1) Getting a swap partition set up (I am from System V, so have not a clue about BSD). Swapon bewilders me and I have played around with fdisk and mount and /etc/fstab alot to no avail. (2) Making floppies writeable. mount -u /dev/fd0a doesn't work. Also, what purpose is the fixit disk? Anyway, would love some help from someone who knows. 386BSD is great, just not all that wonderful for people who aren't super-gurus to begin with. Cheers, Craig.
