This Mini-HOWTO has been largely derived from the Swap-Space Mini HOWTO by
H. Peter Anvin. I have added the Windows 95/98 specific details as
well as a few Red Hat Linux specific details. The msinfo program given in the
original HOWTO didn't work on my Red Hat Linux 6 system, so I created a similar
program. However, I have also included the original msinfo program. Thanks to all
those great people involved with the development of Linux,to the
people at Red Hat for giving a great Linux distribution and to Sanjiv Guha, one of the co-authors of "Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed" from
Techmedia for guidance about shell programming. Thanks also to Matt Welsh, Greg Hankins and Eric S. Raymond, the authors of
SGML-Tool's Users Guide, which helped me in converting the document in SGML
format. Thanks are also to Peter Norton and John Goodman
for there venerable "Peter Norton's Inside the PC", which helped me about
DOS file system structure. Finally, thanks to PC Quest Linux Project
for bringing out Linux CDROMS frequently.
I rely on you, the readers, to make this HOWTO useful. If you have any
suggestions, comments, corrections, requests, flames, etc., feel free to
contact me. Right now, I have no internet access, but still you contact me
in case of questions at my
Hotmail
account (Hey! Don't blame me for using a Microsoft service. Hotmail was
created by our Indian guy Sabeer Bhatia). May be someone from you local place may also come to your rescue.If
you find my account unoperational and your problem is indeed important, you may
mail me at
amitanatu@sprynet.com.
Finally, I would like to dedicate this work to Robert Lafore, the
author of excellent books "C programming using Turbo C++" and "Object
Oriented Programming using Turbo C++".
