Doesn't really matter in single user mode - you'll just copy the swap
over. But yeah, this procedure works fine for me in the past.
One thing: 1m is a bit small for modern systems. Or for not-so-modern
systems. Since nothing else is running, you might as well use all the
memory you've got, or as big as you can get a process to be. 128m or
more is perfectly reasonable.
