There are two options:
1. You can make a partition act as your swap device
2. You can make a file act as your swap device
If '1' is possible you can do the following:
# mkswap /dev/hdXYY
(where hdXYY is the partition which you would like to have
as your swap device)
else if you want to have a file as your swap device:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap.file bs=1024 count=<size in kb>
Where 'size in kb' is the desired size of your swap file.
# mkswap /swap.file
Now your swap file/partition is ready. Edit your fstab and add an
entry to mount the swap file/partition mount during boot:
Depending on whether you wanted a swap partition or a swap file:
1. For swap partitions:
/dev/hdXYY none swap sw 0 0
2. For swap file:
/swap.file none swap sw 0 0
The SwapSpace-HOWTO (mini HOWTO) is a nice read if you wanted to
know nifty things about swaps.

Hi Everybody,
Anybody interested in getting T-shirts with Tux/Linux logos
etc., printed on them. Suggestions are also welcome on what type
of logos can be printed on T-shirts. Actually, I know somebody who
does this in a professional way. If there is good response from
the LUG members, we could go in for a bulk-order.
This issue was of interest sometime back when Suraj made a mention
about this on the mailing list.
Someone really interested can contact me .
Cheers!!!
