None of the current programs work with 7B85 to create a new swap file. Has any one looked into how this can be done manually?

If so, can you please provide the details?

Thanks

You could try testuser's swapvolume StartupItem. Theoretically, Panther shouldn't have broken it:

The CLI way still works flawlessly in 7B85.

• Type df -h to find out the device name of your swap partition.
  
• Edit your /etc/fstab file to mount the partition at bootup. For example, if your swap partition is named /dev/disk0s2 add a line to your /etc/fstab file that reads:
  /dev/disk0s2 /Volumes/Swap hfs rw 1 2
  
• Open your /etc/rc file and find the line that reads:
  swapdir=/private/var/vm
  
  Replace that line with the new location:
  swapdir=/Volumes/Swap/vm
  
• We're done! Now reboot and verify that the new location is being used: there should be at least one file named swapfile0 in your /Volumes/Swap/vm/ directory.
  
• You can now erase any leftover swap files from the old location:
  sudo rm /private/var/vm/swapfile*

Ciao.
