No. it's only for physical memory. I am not aware of any limit for swap,
so 2gb should be fine.

Thanks,

Emacs21 in Hurd.

Hello there. I am trying to run Emacs21 in hurd. When i run `emacs` it gives me an error saying it can't find libXaw3d, but I do have libXaw3d installed, and the library file which it is asking for (libXaw3d.so.6) is located in my libdirectory which is also a path to in /etc/ld.so.conf, and I did run `ldconfig`, so I really have no idea what could be wrong here. If someone could help me it would sure be great, thanks in advance. -- Ole Andre -- Note to self: get smarter troll to guard door

memory limit and swap

Hi, I would like to make my linux-box dualboot with linux and hurd. The linux install uses a 2Gb swap partition, which I would like to reuse for hurd. However, I have read something about a memory limit at 760Mb or so. So, to my question: Does this limit also apply to swap? regards, Aslak
