Is my computer using the 1.5GB swap file i created, yea i know its big but i wasn't thinking when i created it.

Kinfocenter said that total swap memory = 0.00kb

Is that right ?

How can i find out if it is?

All the SuperKaramba themes said swap file usage is 0 apart from one which said something like 60MB but i don't think that was right.

How can i know for sure?

Run "mount" and see if you have swap listed as a partition.

Swap only gets used if RAM is full, so the fact that none of it is in use isn't necessarily a bad thing.

ok thanks, i reinstalled, now i have mandrake, it refused to work with my monitor, had to reinstall it a second time to change the settings to make it work, and guess what no mouse, had to keep tabbing arround to get the mouse to work.
