pw, "Needless to say, this method reduces the waste of over-allocating disk space for the swap file" excellent point regarding over-allocation. but many people today have hard drives they will never fill, and expanding a swap file to 1gb isn't as criminally wasteful as it may have been just a couple years ago. both os's i am dual-booting are each around 2gb in size. i have a factory installed 13gb hd and an add-on 15gb hd. that's 4gb worth of operating systems in 28gb of space. and hd's are only going one way in size..... up! so i don't have the concern about using a bit more real estate for a swap file. i really like your method, however. it strikes me as efficient and well thought-out. :) mark
