Thanx in advance for the KW> help. For resizing, use Partition Magic. There probably are other tools, but PM is the best one I know. As for the swap partition, 32 Mb takes a lot of swap. Take 130 Mb [32x4=128 + 2 Mb overhead]. I also have 32M and do some heavy work [image editing, sound composing, CAD, etc.]; this setting works good for me. And think about adding some more memory chips... The correctly set swap file is good, but more RAM is better. +=-. | Max Timchenko [MaxVT] | [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask] | FAX (413)431-4014 ICQ 2386792 | | Freelance website and graphics designer | Visit my site : http://maxwd.hypermart.net | | Editor - Graphics artist | NOSPIN group +=-.
