SWAP?

[Jeffrey Ross]

Ok, that worked.

a few follow up questions..

Why was the entry never created when the system was built?  This is a 
new install and I know I didn't touch the /etc/fstab file.

Secondly an older FC 3 install (this is a FC 4 install) had the line:
LABEL=SWAP-hda3         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

I tried the same line (adjusting for hda6) but that didn't work.  I do 
have label's on the other filesystems however and they work fine.

TIA
