My tiny input isn't much... the big thanks goes to you and to James for the walkthru to use Vbox on your appliances. At the risk of exposing further ignorance on my part, I'm curious what it means in fstab where you have: /.swap none swap sw 0 0 At the swap line. That's another thing I haven't seen before.I mean the /DOTswap `/.swap', does it just mean there is no swap? Its hard to google because google doesn't recognize the . (dot), so a search with terms like: site:gentoo.org fstab "/.swap" still finds /swap (with no dot) google throws out the dot. I've noticed similar behavior on google if you try something like "--color=auto" as a search term.. google appears to throw out the `--' (dashdash) and the `=' equal sign.
