Neither swapon nor mkswap are recognised by my bash terminal. I get a lot of that trying to follow what people suggest - is something wrong with that too!?
You've probably got the wrong PATH setting, by using "su" to become root instead of "su -".
Paul.
thanks, i've always used >>su root what is >>su - ?
It didn't help though. I get
[root@3e6b347a dulithgow]# su - [root@3e6b347a ~]# swapon -s [root@3e6b347a ~]# mkswap /dev/hda6 /dev/hda6: No such file or directory [root@3e6b347a ~]#
