I set up my slack 10 without a swap prtition, now i wanna set it up, i used fdisk, created a swap patrition, then, mkswap... then i wrote this line in /etc/fstab:

Code:

/dev/hda5        swap             swap        defaults         0   0

fdisk:

Code:

Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
