I have a few questions that I was not able to get the answer out from
the FAQ list and I am not a Unix pro. I have the following machine

Gateway 2000 486 DX 33, 12M RAM, 325 meg hard drive (80 for DOS and the
rest for 386BSD), MS serial mouse.

1. How do I setup swap space? Do I just edit the fstab file to add the
correponding device and use swapon in my config file? Do I have to edit
the disklabel too?

2. I am running Amancio Hasty's XBSD8514 server. It seems to hogging up
as much CPU as it can get. Is this related to the fact that I don't have
any swap space setup or is it some other problem?

3. I am interested in running a program that does a lot of floating
point calculations. When I run the program I get floating point
violations at unexpected points like in fprintf statement or printf
statement. Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there any fix in
the patch kit for this? BTW I plan to install the latest version patch
kit soon. 

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Natraj.
