Well, yeah, that's it unless you're out of unallocated space... Is there a way
to reduce a partition's allocation to create unallocated space which can be
turned into paging space? We've been taping partitions off, and rebuilding, 
which isn't as much fun as the very elegant SMIT interface (that's a pat on
the back guys!)
