Things go well till it tries to initialize the swap partition. The swap partition is also remotely mounted. I have tried a directory as well as a flat file for the swap file. Must it be a true disk partition or can it be faked? -- Jin Mazumdar (internet:) mazumdar@cs.fredonia.edu >>> Dept. Of Math and C.
