1. On the new drive create a partition of the desired size and
set the type to 82 (Linux swap).
2. Execute "mkswap <partition>".
3. Edit the file /etc/fstab, and look for your current swap file
entry. It will look like:
"/dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0"
Add another line just like it which matches except for the
partition specification.
4. Execute "swapon -a"
That should take care of the lot. It will be recognized and
automatically loaded when you boot thereafter, also.
