First of all,it's quite OK, if you have 128MB RAM partition, given that you
have 256MB RAM, unless you are doing some heavy duty work on that machine..

Here more swap is used than free memory, kind of funny..)
Anyway, you can resize the swap partition with fdisk( i.e. delete old one and
create new one), then you can use swapon command to activate it..
