Use a usb-stick, formatted as swap.
It will be made use of on boot up.
I have four machines using them (up to 4gb sticks)
ymmv
Note that questions have been asked about how long flash will last if
used for swap. (But the worst thing that can happen is that the machine
crashes and the flash becomes unusable).
Using SD cards the answer seems to be a few days. The card doesn't show
bad sectors. It just dies completely. This has happened with several SD
cards of different makes. I have no idea what the failure mode is, but
after 5 or 6 fail that fast, and you haven't seen any last a decent
length of time, you have to start accepting its not a random failure issue.
