swap file

Yesterday people were wondering about how to make this and here is the
solution:

1-
    touch <file name>
2-
    mkswap <file name>
3- 
    swapon <file name> <max file size>
4-
    to /etc/fstab add the line
        <filename> swap swap noauto 0 0

The advantage of having a swapfile is that can fluctuate in size up to <max
size>
(at least this is the way I understand it, am I correct?
