Sorry, Dan, I misunderstood one part of your response to me. I never had zram-config, until I did "apt-get install zram-config", after reading a work-around, earlier in the forum, by dac922.

zram-config did not fully configure (so is an "incomplete install" on the Apt system. But, it's a MOST convenient way to bring down zram0, on a system that has the Kernel code, but not the most convenient way, based on your post, before the one for me. In it, you mention rmmod zram. The next time I can get "standalone" on this production server (or if I upgrade my netbook that's my "test-bed" for Ubuntu 12.0.4 Desktop, and try it), I will try rmmod zram, followed by "fdisk /dev/zram0", to see if it exists any more.

Note that, even on the desktop, I'm a "control freak", such that I disabled Lightdm from coming up on boot. (And then, if I WANT the desktop, I type "start lightdm" on root). Does that show the "type" of computer nerd I am? (Coupled by the fact that, when I was happily "bit twiddling", and sharing the "fruits", it was Red Hat 6). :-)

Thanks for this idea, Dan.
