There is no entry how to make swap file; should I make one?
I decided to go from swap partition to swap file, but I haven't found a entry for it on Wiki.
So I googled it and found this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add- … ile-howto/
So should I create a entry for it. I would more or less just copy paste the article from there and then put it under references or external links...
Is that enough or is there something more...
I mean I not really prolific at making swap file I've just followed a guide. Also is this even needed? Or other should just google it like I did?

I was planning on whipping something up too. Go for it, and if anyone thinks there is something to be added, I'm sure they will get on it.

Do not directly copy copyrighted work. Otherwise, I think this would be a valuable resource. Consider creating a generic "Swap" article. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rem … _swap_file and http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … 3#Swapfile for two existing swap file references.

OK I've noted about copyrighted not, I'll probably ask if the writer of blog if I can reference his how to in wiki. And I'll check out the other sources for adding swap file...

OK done.
Only problem I made a bit "clumsy" Site title so i had to "redirect it".
This is my first true Wiki article so please have some understanding...
