The swap partition did not mount post-installation (Debian "Squeeze" (Xfce)).
Created a 2nd swap partition, & planned to delete the earlier swap partition. The 2nd swap partition doesn't mount either.
(Been using Debian (my 1st intro to Linux) for < 3 weeks. If
a) I'm missing any blindingly obvious solution(s)
b) this post should have been posted under a different topic/forum
then please let me know.)

How can I mount swap upon booting? Would really appreciate help/suggestions.
Thanks for your time and patience,
