how to remove swap 2

[Themuppeteer]

This is a 'just for the record' question, in line of my still pending problem about linux that freezes (see other thread of mine)

Is removing swap from a system as simple as simply not putting it in fstab anymore ? Or do I have to do something more ?
thnx. Greetz,

Should be. When your startup scripts run swapon -a it should find no devices in your /etc/fstab and silently do nothing. Annihilannic.

You can turn it on on-the-fly by doing a "swapoff" command.
