I have no swap listed when I run top. This is not true but the swap

Now just one hard drive and today I used fdisk and redid this hard
drive to have the same number of partitions but the /dev/sda3 is now 2
Gb. I used mkswap /dev/sda3 and it seemed to work but perhaps not
because top still says no swap... I will read man mkswap and see if
there is something else I need to do.
Did you mark that partition as swap in /etc/fstab, e.g.:
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
And did you run either "swapon /dev/sda3" or "swapon -a" (after editing
/etc/fstab)?

It was the swapon -a which I saw in man mkswap that remined me as it
was supposed to ;-)
