Just installed Knoppix

(1/2) > >>

hnugz:
Everything was pretty spiffy.  I just have a couple of quick questions.  On the partitioning, I set the swap partition to be 2gb.  I assume this is more than enough, does it make a difference?  What should it be set to ideally?  My comp has 512mb of memory.

Also, lilo was the only option during the install.  It looks really awful and I would like to use grub.  Does grub come with knoppix?  How would I remove lilo and install grub?  Thanks.

HPC GUY:
your swap file is usually twice the size of your ram. 1 gb should be fine

Enmity:
Everyone says that, why though?
Can't I have swap that's 50000 times my RAM (not practical but just exagerrating)

suselinux:
would a bigger swap make for a faster system?

slave:
A swap file is really only useful for systems with less than a gig of RAM.  If you have a gig or more, I wouldn't even bother with a swap file (or if you make one, make it the same size of your RAM)  On my system (128MB) I have a 256 MB swap file.
