Re: chage swap file size

To find out which partition is the swap partition, type this on the command line (through a terminal program such as K Menu --> System --> Konsole ):
cat /etc/fstab | grep swap

You'll see something like this:
/dev/hda3       none            swap    sw              0       0

In this case, /dev/hda3 is your swap partition.  That would be the one you would have to resize.  (If you ran the command and received no output, there is no swap partition listed in /etc/fstab.)

There are other ways to increase the amount of swap without resizing this partition.  Post back if you'd like more info.
