I have researched this but it seems no one wants to do this. Is it a bad idea? I think it would be better than my little hard drive churning on this old laptop. A full 128MB stick. Fedora sees the stick, I create a partition in fdisk of type 82. I use dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=1024 count=131000 then /sbin/mkswap /dev/sda1 this takes a while, then it's done. but if I try to "swapon" /dev/sda1: "resource busy". any tips? I just want to cut down on the thrashing of my hard drive and if this is slower, then fine, at least I can do other things since my hard drive won't be churning away. Thanks for any further info! =G
