Need to move parition

[Matthew Carpenter]

Yes.  You create a file using dd IIRC of desired size and in the desired
location, then use the mkswap command to turn the file into a swap file,
then use swapon to use that file.

# create the file of size: 64mb
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=65536
# make the file into a swap file
mkswap swapfile
# turn the sucker on
swapon swapfile
