Using USB flash as swap space.

Hello,

I recently read an article that states that using a USB flash drive as 
swap space can help speed up a low memory system since the flash drive 
is faster than a hard drive.

Could someone walk me through the list of commands needed to mount a 
flash drive, and specify it as a swap space in Hardy?

I would also like to know how to get it set up in fstab so it will 
always work.

Thanks for any help you can be.

Later, Ray Parrish
