To install Oracle Database 10g, I need to increase the swap memory to

Tangential aside: Does anyone have an informed opinion on whether the

It never did. I couldn't see why, if I upgraded my Pentium from 64
Mbytes+128 Mbytes I should add swap if I added 128 Mbytes RAM.
Couldsomebody explain how to do this the fastest way? Thanks!
Assuming you've got the free disk space:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=512K
# mkswap swapfile
# swapon swapfile
(replace "swapfile" above with an appropriate path for your system).
Eventually you should make a permanent swap out of a real disk
partition, perhaps by adding a drive to the machine.
Why?
