It's not automatic; you need to add something likeswap /dev/sdC0/swap to cpurc or cpurc.local. Others feel that there are serious bugs in the swapping (paging) code but I've had good luck with it. If you expect to swap regularly, you should keep any local file systems on different disks from your swap space, or performance will suffer badly when you swap. It's also possible to swap to a file server (e.g., `swap /n/other/swap') but you'll want to use switched Ethernet if you do that. If it's possible, it's almost certainly a better idea to add more RAM to your machine.
I already have a good deal of RAM (320 MB or so) in my machine, but if I put much load on it I'm a bit concerned about running out. Thought I'd ask. John -- "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" -- Shakespeare, Henry VI
