Hello,

I am having difficulty getting Knoppix to use swap space.

I have two harddrives with one partition each, hda1 is ext3 and hdb1 is vfat. Each has 4GB of free space. Knoppix recognizes each and nicely creates icons for them on the desktop.

I want Knoppix to use hdb1 for swap space, but the included tool (Knoppix->Configure->Swap File Configuration) insists I have no DOS partitions available. I have tried running the tool with hdb1 mounted (and unmounted) and read-write (and read-only). No luck.

I wouldn't particularly care about the swap space, but I am trying to remaster Knoppix and the cloop compression requires more memory than I physically have.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
