Hi all,
Two completely unrelated questions...
1) I need to do a link which needs around 100Mb+ of memory to even think about
starting
from what I can tell. The question therefore arrises of how to swap to a file.
I guessed
swapon(8) (well not so much a guess but...) but this doesnt work:
# swapon /disk1/swapfile
swapon: /disk1/swapfile: Block device required
(I did play around with mknod too, but all the variants I tried came back with
device not configured). Any ideas?
2) Has anyone got a HP Deskjet 680C (or similar) working with their RiscBSD
installation
yet? If so any ideas on why mine just sits there flashing its "receiving data"
light
and never does anything?
TIA,
Paul
