        It's not easy to do that since the installer for the 3100 copies the image onto it directly, there is no opportunity to add a swap slice at that point.
        Is there any particular reason you want to add swap? It's not usually required.

            Yeah, it's not required and wouldn't really help anyway. If you start using SWAP you have Squid tuned incorrectly. Any system that starts swapping will usually see a massive performance hit when it does.
