Swap is now configurable

Swap is now configurable

[Harry Kalogirou]

Hi all,

  Now the swap is controled with the "swapon" utility I added to the
elkscmd package. You activate swapping with something like that :

# swapon /dev/bda2 512

This selects /dev/bda2 as the swap partition, with size 512KBytes.

For now there is no way to remove the swap once you activated it.

Enjoy,
Harry

Thats actually a hard problem. If I remember rightly V7 unix also had no
swapoff facility (nor btw did early Linux 8))
