I have 256MB of system RAM and plan on getting either 256 or 512 more.
 I have a ~256MB swap.

I would use the swap on my hdd, however, if I try and modify
partitions I can't use the swap because that would make the drive
active.  So, I want to have Knoppix use a USB drive as swap space so
that I can successfully modify my hdd partitions.  However, I don't
know how to configure that to happen - I know how to disable all swap
with swapoff -a; but don't know how to get my USB drive to work with
swapon...
