R. Natraj" <nn07+@andrew.cmu.edu> Subject: Need answers to few questions not found in FAQ Lines: 25 I have a few questions that I was not able to get the answer out from the FAQ list and I am not a Unix pro. I have the following machine Gateway 2000 486 DX 33, 12M RAM, 325 meg hard drive (80 for DOS and the rest for 386BSD), MS serial mouse. 1. How do I setup swap space? Do I just edit the fstab file to add the correponding device and use swapon in my config file? Do I have to edit the disklabel too? 2. I am running Amancio Hasty's XBSD8514 server. It seems to hogging up as much CPU as it can get. Is this related to the fact that I don't have any swap space setup or is it some other problem? 3. I am interested in running a program that does a lot of floating point calculations. When I run the program I get floating point violations at unexpected points like in fprintf statement or printf statement. Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there any fix in the patch kit for this? BTW I plan to install the latest version patch kit soon. Thanks in advance for your replies. Natraj.
