I made 3 partiotions, dos, ext2(I think, 83), and S. I know the command to format dos patition and ext2, what is the command to format swap partition?

WIFI status:
I changed wifi channels and seemed one channel is the best. I can install packages in application manager. but it is still slow to visit maemo, only maemo. is there something special behind?

USBCONTROL:
it cannot be installed. there is a message "incompatible package" when i tried to install it.


thanks in advance.

to format a swap partition:

mkswap /dev/sda1

or whatever partition you want to format. To activate swap use the command:

swapon /dev/sda1

You can confirm it is working with the command free. To have it mount automatically add it /etc/fstab as:

/dev/sda1 none swap defaults 0 0

thanks
I did not find a command list for e2fsprogs.
i will try it: mkswap

I have made 3 partitions: 521M dos, 6.6G linux and 512 swap.
when I use this command:
insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1/mbcache.ko
there is a message (not exactly):
insmod cannot insert /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1/mbcache.ko file exists.
i searched and i will delete swap partition. if i like swap, i will use a file instead.
will try it
