Create a swap file, and swap on that.

See the man page for mkswap for a procedure that makes a swapable file,
formats it for swap and swaps on it.

              # dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=8192
              # mkswap swapfile 8192
              # sync
              # swapon swapfile

Is the section of interast.... It adds about 8 meg of swap...
