If you have some free space on a drive create another swap partition - then
add it to the pool with the 'swapon' command... See the man page for swapon
for details...

Probably the easiest way to create a swap partition is to use the 'config'
option of sysinstall, e.g.

cd /stand
./sysinstall

>From the console...

Take care you don't nuke any other partitions...
