RE: [PLUG] two questions...

 I'm curious to know what you find slower? Are you talking about the
interfaces, like KDE2 or Gnome? Disk access speed? What exactly is slower?

look at the swapon/swapoff command and also read the swap how-to - you can
create a swap file instead of a swap partition.

are you compiling the modules into the kernel or as seperate modules? if so,
be sure to make modules; make modules_install to compile and install the
modules.

redhat has updated kernels fo 7.2 (2.4.9-13) and I have a 2.4.14 kernel that
runs ok -except for a little flubber i made with the usb support - AND that
there is something in newer kernels that ARTSD doesn't like, so i can't get
sound thorugh ARTSD - though OSS works fine.

Subject: [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!
