I've had Arch 0.7 for some time now.. some months or something. Installed it from ftp, booted up with floppys. Yesterday I found out when looking into a problem with Maya that I had no swap!? Still I made a partition and selected that when Arch was installed.. When my comp starts it says activating swap -> done. So I thought everything was ok.. but it wasn't I have recently learned.. the free-command printed out swap total: 0.. Perhaps there is some bug in the installation?
Just thought I should let you know if it need's to be checked..

If you cfdisk your harddisks, is there a swap partition? Maybe the installer did create a partition and formatted it as swap, but the line in your /etc/fstab is wrong.
A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where a train stops.

yes, I did make a swap-partition.. at boot it says "activating swap".. but "free" said swap total: 0.. so I found out that you have to write in fstab.. /dev/<part> swap swap defaults 0 0... or atleast that's what I did.. and afterwards free said that I had 1gb total swap.. but I just think that I selected which part to use as swap - arch should configure this completely and not just half-ways.. at first I did not have any line in fstab for swap..

I don't know if that's a bug in the installer: I installed Arch using the l33t install script.

That was why I wrote this post.. perhaps someone of the big guys would notice..

Hi Taz76.
Check that your /etc/fstab specification for swap is correct (no typos, proper partition).

Win -> thanks, but it's already sorted it (when I wrote the post).. the swap is now functional and running - but not after I had installed arch.
