On any Linux distribution, you can in a pinch create swap space from a
regular file:
mkdir -p -m 700 /var/swap
touch -m 600 /var/swap/moreswap
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap/moreswap bs=8192 count=8192
mkswap /var/swap/moreswap
swapon /var/swap/moreswap
This would instantly give you 64M additional swap space (assuming that
you have that much room under /var to start with).
You could add an extra swap DISK almost as easily, if you don't mind
going through the machinations of adding disk in the first place.
