Lines: 18 Can anyone offer a way to request more swap space when reformatting the hard disk on a 3b1? I would really like more than 5000 blocks. What I'd really like to hear is ``Sure -- I've got a copy of s4diag that asks how many blocks you'd like to allocate for swapping.'' If I'm dreaming, I'd settle for the location of the hard-coded 4000/5000 and I'll try patching in new values manually. Any help would be greatly appreciated. What I'd like to do is compile using gcc with optimization from GNUemacs -- this has a tendency to use all swap space fairly quickly resulting in `Out of virtual memory' messages which *don't* appear when emacs isn't running. Once again, thanks (in advance). -- Rich Kuhns newton.physics.purdue.edu!sawmill!rjk
