[Mailinglist] USB Swap memory

[Anoop Viswanath]

There so much of highlight about Windows Vista's ability to use USB keys as
swap memory. We can use this feature since kernel 2.4 on Linux. Try these
commands:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1/swap bs=1K count=524288
mkswap /dev/sda1/swap
sudo/su swapon /dev/sda1/swap

Now you have 512 MB more of swap space from your USB key.
Assuming that your USB drive letter is sda1
