[PLUG] two questions...


Hi,


I recently upgraded to RedHat 7.2 and I gotta tell you, it's much slower than previous distros. I attribute this to both my own fault and the Linux kernels. My problem is that I only have 15MB of swap, because previous kernels didn't need as much swap as 2.4.7-10 needs.


I am running RedHat 7.2 on a P3 laptop with a 10GB hard drive and 256 MB of RAM.

	So here are my two questions:

1) Is there a way for me to increase my swap partitions without having to delete existing partitions? (i.e. "grow" and "shrink" partitions)

2) How can I compile my kernel to include all of the modules (in the same configurations) as the RedHat install process? I try to go through xconfig and select the same modules as 'lsmod' tells me, but somehow, when I recompile and reboot, KDE hangs in the middle of the initialization (whereas it doesn't using the stock 2.4.7-10 kernel).

I am looking to move to 2.4.12+ because of the new VM they are using. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
