I recently installed Windows 3.0 on my 386SX. Since the instructions
said that it would work best with 6-8 meg of free disk space (for swapping
memory pages), I set up a logical drive on the hard disk ~8 meg in size
so that there would always be free space available regardless of how much
other junk I may have sitting on my disk.

How do I tell windows to use that area for it's swapping space?

I did notice that the install program put a line in my control files
(either autoexec.bat or config.sys, I can't remember which) specifying
a TEMP variable and temp directory under \WINDOWS. Will modifying this
line accomplish my goal?  

I'm looking for anyone who can confirm or deny this.

Please E-mail me.  I don't subscribe to this group.  If there is some
other group I should post this to instead, let me know.
