Hello Folks!

	I have a related question. I have just installed 3.0 on my
external Fujitsu 2624F and decided to make the internal Quantum into a
swapdrive. But, I wanted a 50/50 disk.

	So, I go off to format and build the Quantum and the "partition"
button is hazed. Why ? Ok, I ignore it, and build the disk with
"swapdisk" as name.

	No problemo ?... ok it worked but then during boot-up I get
lot's of complaints from the machine (cannot swap to
/private/vm/swafile.front) and it seem to swap to external.

	Finally, with all this... I cannot get the "recycler" to work.

	My questions are :

	1. How can I get my internal quantum to partition 50/50, so that
	   I can build half for emergency boot and the other for
	   swapping.

	2. Why am I having "recycler" problems.

	Thanks folks...
