Before you flame, I know this is in some FAQ, but I've been looking
through a bunch of them and I can't find the answer anywhere. So,

How do you set up linux to use your windows swap file as the Linux swaap
file.

I did a 'swapdev /msdos/386spart.par' and that gives me a 'swap device
0x110b' message, but when I try swapon (with various combinations of
flags) I always get rejects. So, someone tell me how to do this. Thanks.

The answer is a little bit too complicated to expose here, but it is in
a  mini-HOWTO called swap something.
Check the mini-HOWTOs at sunsite. If you still have probs, email me...
