Re: 7.10 Install turned Windows partition into swap space!

/dev/sda5 is the swap partition and is setup just fine.

What I'm saying is that the install process initialized _two_ swap
partitions. One was the resized windows partition, the other was a newly
created partition. The newly created partition is up and running as swap
just fine.

Whoops... I get it now.


(cat /proc/swaps shows this as expected)


Erm, I'm sorry, I don't have any ideas (odd thing, really!) but maybe
someone else turns up with a suggestion.
