           Summary: Swap file formatting causes hang

I noticed that there is only 10.6mb free ram. So I thought that I would use a
swap file. I tried to format the swap file on an empty sd card (partitioned as
ext2) with:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/card/swapfile bs=1024 count=65536.

This caused a hang which required a re-boot. By the way, what is the control
key on the C860 (Boxer) as I tried using the Fn key but that didn't work?
