installing and deleting SWAP on MSDOS
I am at my school's computer and was going to run Knoppix. It said there is not enough memory to run KDE (it only has 32Mb). There was a dialog box that says you can install a temporary swap file on the MSDOS hardrive (dev/hda1/ i think) How would I go about deleting this file when I am finished? I need to do it from Knopper, and not Windows. (Because Windows is not working, thats why I am using Knoppix. Any ideas?

Re: installing and deleting SWAP on MSDOS
--As root, when you're ready to shutdown, issue:
' swapon -s ' == Get status of swapfiles and partitions
' swapoff /mnt/c/knoppix.swp ' == Or whatever the filename is that it's using
' swapon -s ' == Make sure it's not using the swapfile anymore
' /bin/rm /mnt/c/knoppix.swp ' == Remove the swapfile from drive C (or wherever it was located)
' halt ' == Shutdown.

if you use a swap file on the c drive, does it damage/overwrite data that is already on there? i'm kind of new to this whole linux thing. i would like to be able to try and run knoppix 3.1 on my old ibm thinkpad with 24mb of ram.

--No, it shouldn't be harmful at all unless you mistype an ' rm ' command. Use ' mc ' to delete files and you'll be fine.
