@knc1, eschwartz: Looking at my Kindle there's no
swapon command, so even if you created image by
dd on your computer and formatted it to SWAP via
mkswap (which is also missing from my setup), you won't have a way to activate it. One may build
mkswap and
swapon from
util-linux or
busybox but I am not sure kernel supports swap since it was not originally intended to have it on board.
