Hello,
I have recently installed NetBSD-0.9 on my system (386DX-40 w/ 8 Mb
RAM and 250 Mb HDD), and have found that it is quite good. However my
question reagrds the expansion of swap space used in the system. A few
days ago, I managed to upgrade my RAM to 16 MB, and was wondering how I
could increase the size of my swap partition without having to
re-install the NetBSD-0.9 O.S. It took me a few days to tweak NetBSD to
my specifications, and I really want to try to avoid having to
re-install everything. Currently I have 16 Mb or swap space (i.e. 8 Mb
RAM x 2). Can I run XFree86-2.0 and other UNIX programs comfortably with
this much swap or will I need to increase it. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance
Maz
