====== Making a swapfile ======


  - Multiply the Mb of swap that you want by 1024. For example, a 256 MB swap file would give 262144.
  - As root or prefacing the commands with //sudo//, type the following commands where <size> is the number you got from Step 1:
<code>
      dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=<size>
      mkswap /swapfile
      swapon /swapfile
</code>
    * The above commands create the file, make the file a swapfile, and then turn it on.  You should now see your additional swap using the commands **top** or **free**.

  * To enable your swapfile during normal boot, edit /etc/fstab to include:

<code>
      /swapfile               swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
</code>
