Ok, I'm back on the problem machine. Even logged into Imgur I have no ability to correct the earlier links, but thanks for going there and reviewing them.
Sharp eye regarding that TYPE="swsuspend". That wasn't like that earlier. I think attempting to Suspend and Hibernate may have rewritten the fstab line temporarily. Both attempts failed, btw, and the machine shut down cold.
So I just got here, and my friend had booted up, and it looks like everything's actually working! I opened Slimjet, Gimp with a pic, and ran a large macro in LO, and the swap went to 28MB. Seems low (Pentium 4 Processor, 2GB RAM), but I've never had much swap action in linux. I was thinking about this last eve, and had come up with the basic strategy you have outlined, but if this holds I guess there's no need.
Pic should follow. Thanks much for your input. I will look into adjusting the "swapability" parameter, to make more use of the swap function.
BW,
Paul
