1-SWAP_FILES_FOLDERS 2- Meaning of Starred Posts?

[knp]

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
