I Stuck - Live CD Mounts Linux Swap

[Harry Vorstenbosch]

There are special programs to define an USB drive as swap. I remember me an
Startable CD with a special program which is needed on your first partition
but I think it is special written for DOS/WINDOWS.  I will take a look for
you at another moment if you wish, to send you the details how to perform
this latter. The thing I know is that there would be a save.file on your
harddisk which got read at the starting moment, but I am afraid it onlu=y
works with the CD on where the programs are located.
And I know the start-up procedure is extra long.

Harry,

I have 256MB of system RAM and plan on getting either 256 or 512 more.
 I have a ~256MB swap.

I would use the swap on my hdd, however, if I try and modify
partitions I can't use the swap because that would make the drive
active.  So, I want to have Knoppix use a USB drive as swap space so
that I can successfully modify my hdd partitions.  However, I don't
know how to configure that to happen - I know how to disable all swap
with swapoff -a; but don't know how to get my USB drive to work with
swapon...
