A swap file can be used if your computer has a low amount of ram memory. A swap file is not as fast as ram memory, but can allow your computer to run more demanding programs without crashing. Swap files are normally stored on an internal drive or USB hard drive
Swap files are not created on USB flash drives or SDcards.
During your first shutdown, you may be ask if you want a swap file or to manually add a swap file:
-open a terminal
-type: pupswap
-press: enter

-click Create pupswap.swp
