Its always best before posting to SEARCH the forums for the answer first, this could have been avoided searching for 'swapon' From All Forums, from the beginning, and newer
To use a file as swap space (without a new partition)
First create the file, like so,
'dd if=/dev/zero of=dsl.swp count=64000 bs=1024'
will create a 64 megabyte file. (for 64 megs of swap space)
'mkswap file'
'swapon file'
Then you should have virtual memory, (look see with 'free')
Otherwise, refer to the forums Search.
