The newest version of Mkfs should actually make this procedure 
unnecessary.  It should be able to handle any kind of partition you give 
it, whether it's A/UX or not.

The usual recommendation is to have swap = 2 * RAM.  However, I have 
about 28 MB of RAM at the moment and only 20 MB or so of swap.  As soon 
as I get a new drive, I'll probably up the swap to the full 56 MB or so 
that it "should" be.  Keep in mind though, that with 36 MB of RAM, you 
have to be doing a lot of stuff to make it swap (of course, running X 
tends to count as a "lot of stuff" ;-)

I hope this helps.

Later.
