Used swap 0MB of 0MB - why?

Use "swapon -s" to determine if you have a swapfile or partition in use.
If that isn't listed, try "swapon /dev/hda6" to turn it on and use the
previous command to see if it is running.
If not, recreate your swapfile with "mkswap /dev/hda6" and then use
"swapon /dev/hda6"

Hope that helps...
