Thanks Bundyo I checked with command "free" and live swapping between the two cards.

Sure enough swap changed in size between 56MB (For 64MB MMC), 0GB (With NO MMC) and 64MB (With 1GB MMC) (64MB being theoretical max for OS006 without making any xterm command changes) even though the physical swap size on 1GB card is actually/currently 128MB. (seems OS2006 never sees full 128MB available even under xterm when using free command)

So if I am understanding correctly I can now use your suggested commands to temporarily increase the swap size even higher on my Nokia 770 or other NIT's for an ongoing booted session and the swap size should stay that way until I hard re-boot and/or I swap cards?

i.e. create a physical 256MB swap (Using first command) which will from then on always available on a particular MMC card and then set swap size of OS (i.e. Nokia 770 OS2006 & N800 OS2008) to be in alignment using the suggested commands and all running programs will then know the extra swap space is available for use if they need it?

Just trying to get my head around the overall concepts etc.
