Dear friends, I have Debin Linux (1.3.1) and when I installed I setup a 128MB swap partition. Unfortunately, mirror.pl requires heaps of memory when mirroring large ftp sites and as I was initializing time stamps it ran out of memory.
I would like to add a swap file so that I can initiate the mirror and set the time stamps and then if I do not require the extra swap and have HDD space shortage I can always remove the swap file. In IRIX the swap command can be used but I am not sure what is the proper way to do it on Debian Linux. Could some of you guys show me a step by step procedure on how to setup an additional 128MB swap file? Or alternatively where I can find this info. Thank you.
