You can use partition magique 7 or highter (I never test before those versions ..) But becareful change your partition without any knowledgement can damage your other partition .. So ask if you are not sure

Do I simply create a partition in my hard disk?
How do I direct Knoppix to use that partition as swap?

with Partition Magic you can easily take away some space from an existing partition and make that Linux swap space.
Knoppix automagically uses the space i noticed on my PC (with Mandrake ext2 and swapspace) .
