Of course this is assuming you created a swap partition and initilized it? (I think) Nope, swapon doesn't care where it is going to swap to, but you can also share it with GNU/Linux, but then you have to use mkswapfs on the file/device.
So you're saying there's a "mkswapfs" command in the hurd? I reckon it's not yet installed then, as "locate" (after running "updatedb") doesn't find it. So I need to get my networking fixed, then I should be able to "apt-get install mkswapfs" (or whatever package it's in) and initialize my swap partition?
