You can add more swap space by using swap files. To add an 8MB
swap for example do the following (1024*1024=1048576=1MB):
# dd count=8 bs=1048576 if=/dev/zero of=/somewhere/swapfile
# mkswap /somewhere/swapfile
To enable:
# swapon /somewhere/swapfile
To view swap usage:
# swapon -s
To disable:
# swapoff /somewhere/swapfile
It's still recommended however to add more physical memory rather
than expanding swap space...
