Hello Alpha managers,
 I have a question about increasing swap space.  I have increased the
swap space on my Alpha by adding 1GB on another disk to the 256MB
already existing.  I am doing this because I am going to upgrade my RAM
from 256 MB to 1024MB.  My question is:  Am I right in thinking that I don't
need to rebuild the kernel when increasing swap?  I have checked
swapon -s after rebooting and adding the new swap to the /etc/fstab
and it indicates the new swap exists.  My boss would like confirmation
that a kernel rebuild isn't necessary.  
Thanks,
J. Scott Branscum
