this one is pretty funny, i guess. anyway - i've noticed my swap
partition is 'deleted' (more like not recognised by linux) after
installation of the os. should this happen? like, i go on xwindows and
check out the filesystems and it says 'dev/hda7 has been deleted. shall
i remove it' or something to that effect. do i no longer need the swap
partition - it seems as though the installation deleted it for me. Red
Hat 5 (not 5.1)
if so, why was i an idiot and gave it 100Megs when i have 64MB Ram? god.

thanks.

woohoo.

It's somehting flakely in the filesystems control panel in RH5.0, did
the same thing to me, there is probably an erratta, but I fixed the
fstab by hand and quit using that "tool"
