Good day, Carlos, and Packmans!

I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner; I have been busy these past
few days and wanted to do some testing.

 I am not quite sure what went wrong, then. But when I ran 'free', I saw
that there was no swap.

(depending on your usage, you may need more than 8 gig of swap later)

I have followed your instructions, removed the separate cache partition,
and on your advice, also increased my swap to 16Gb. Now double the size of
the installed RAM. I mainly use that machine to play music, and have
noticed that it doesn't use much swap anyway. But, hopefully, if my swap is
double my RAM, it should be good enough for whatever I may need to do on
that machine.

I do appreciate it very much, thank you, Carlos!

Kind regards,
