1-SWAP_FILES_FOLDERS 2- Meaning of Starred Posts?
Hi Please excuse me eventually. I post in this forum because I do'nt know the GOOD FORUM where to post !!!! Perhaps I shall need to post in "Laptop Forum"
I posted twice in "General Support" :
1- Changing Temp Folder" 2- Swap_files_Folder etc
A long time ago (knoppix 5*) I encountered "swap_files and swap_folders to choose freely during HD_installation. It seems to have disappeared with 6.* and 7.* : due, perhaps, to the NOW BIG HD and Memory.
I have a (very) old laptop: initially with 512Mo_Ram which I extend to a 2x512Mo_Ram (=1GO_Ram).
Sometimes I need LARGER Place ( I saw it was a Ram_Place and HD_Place because I succeded to copy very BIG FILES_FOLDERS in many processes NOT AT ONCE!).
I need creating such Swap_files_folders to go FASTER (I think!)!
1- How to create SWAP_Files_Folders for the new Versions from 6.* ?? It was easy for old versions (5.1* for example)
2- What is the Meaning of "STARRED" POSTS ?
3- How to close or delete a thread or a post? Thanks knp

Greetings, knp.
I don't know what you are trying to do but I can tell you a few things that may explain some of your non-response experience:
1. I use Knoppix as a LiveUSB. I've never bothered with swap, even before zram was added. Now that Knoppix has zram,
there is practically no reason to use swap.
2. There isn't a lot of activity on this forum at the moment. You might find more respondees at other distributions.
I can recommend Mint, Ubuntu, PCLinuxOS and MX/Mepis all as interesting and active. Look around; you can come back anytime.

Thanks you utu
I think I have "just" a Ram_Problem about transfering very large folders onto other HD (some Go).
I have found a derivative solution by 7-Zip_splitting
folders_into_several_CD_DVD_Images.
This method is a bit longer than using "swap" but faster than simply copying with previously selected files or subfolders. I have heared a bit about Zram but I am too a newbie !
Can you tell me about "stars" appearing sometimes in the list of Forum_Posts ?
Thanks you for your propositions.

If you mean the small gold stars, like sometimes five in a row? These are indiscriminately awarded ratings not reviewed
or confirmed by anyone. Don't take them seriously. It's a *bug* not a *feature* of this forum IMO. Unless they are on
one of my posts, in which case I concur in the astute judgement indicated thereby. And Werner's posts too, of course.

Thanks utu
Yes I meant the 5 small golden stars.
I saw nothing "like" an explanation... beside "icons" for example.
They do not appear inside any of the posts I have known.

Hi utu
1- I have found a real problem of mine encountered sometimes but I forgot:
( in addition to the probable Ram one?...).
a- In my system certain files are sometimes difficult to transfer.
This occures with files generally coming from Firefox or mail
program (thunderbird etc...) files like *.js or *.css etc..
b- The use of NTFS (surprisingly for knoppix 7.* (and 6.*). Copying
works sometimes and not sometimes.
2- My final solution using almost 5 minutes (against
indeteterminated time) is to use HBCD_liveCD which allows
easily NTFS operations.
This situation does not satisfy me because I loose a part of my freedom when using
Knoppix (or another system perhaps?!...).
3- I catch this occasion (NOT URGENT) to ask you about ReiserFS:
After formatting_Reiserfs a partition via GParted I never succeed to write on this
partition using Knoppix (even for creating any folder!)
Is this a kind of uncompatibily? If Yes why, Knoppix himsel using ReiserFS?
Thank you
knp
