I inherited a Debian system running potato. The system occassionaly was running out of memory so I thought I should increase my virtual memory. Rather than repartitioning the hard drive to add another swap partition, I thought it would be best to just use a swap file. So, I've created the file with dd, made it a swap file with mkswap, and activated it with swapon, and it's working fine. My question is, what is the best way to activate the swap file at boot time?
Thanks, Gerry
