I've done up to this step correctly, but swapon -s only 
shows the swapfile I've just created. Does that mean 
this system has not been using a swapfile?

nepal at kub:~$ sudo swapon -s
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/swapfile                               file            1048568 0       -1

free now shows this 

nepal at kub:~$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        515844     509880       5964          0       5520     353952
-/+ buffers/cache:     150408     365436
Swap:      1048568        244    1048324

as the original figures for Swap were 0 does that mean I had no swap?

and can I safely delete the old swap partition now?

mucho mucho thanks for your help here. :)
