I am running Knoppix 3.7 en with the 2.4 kernel. Two drives. hda is format with nothing. hdb1 has my network save settings. hdb2 is a place where I can save my settings when I am testing new stuff. hdb3 is my perm home dir and I am using the entire part. works perfectly.

I would like to take hda1 and part some space dedicated for swap and use the rest for whatever comes up. My problem is that I have no idea how to tell knoppix that I have a perm swap dev during boot. I would like to dedicate like 1024 to swap at least, but if there is no way to have knoppix use this then it's pointless.

Is this possible, and if so, then how?
