2.3 set up a swap file

You might want to add a swapfile because you need more space in the ramdisk.

---

mount /mnt/hda1 # the partition you want to use as a swap file, adjust it!
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/hda1/swapfile bs=1024 count=524288 # for a 512MiB swap file
mkswap /mnt/hda1/swapfile
swapon -a
