    Code:
    cat /etc/fstab
    Think carefully before executing commands containing "rm", especially "sudo rm -rf ", if you require more information concerning this matter, read this.
    I am an experimenter, give me the most stable OS and I can make it unstable in a few hours.

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
    # /dev/sda6
    UUID=2d47ca63-480a-446b-809b-7630eedaa837 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
    # /dev/sda7
    UUID=860feed7-f9b1-4f17-b91b-113830d64485 none swap sw 0 0
    /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

    does that help?

    Yeah, that helps. There's only one swap partition listed in you fstab. So, while you have two swap partitions, they aren't both enabled at the same time. You can safely get rid of /dev/sda5.
    Code:
    ruby -ne '$_.gsub(/<[^>]*>|\([^)]*\)|\[[^\]]*\]/,"").each_char{|i|STDOUT.flush.print(i);sleep(0.03)}if/(<\/li>|<ul>)<li>/' <(wget -qO- is.gd/e3EGx)

    Re: 2 swap files?

    The partition editor won't allow me to delete the partition. An error messages tells me to unmount any logical partitions with a number higher than 5 (I'm guessing it means sda6 and sda7). Can I just resize the partition down to the minimum size, which partition editor tells me is 8 MB, or would it be best to figure out another way to delete it?
