Keywords: unixpc 7300 swap space

I have a unixpc (7300 3b1) with 2mb of memory 40mb harddisk and running
3.5 that constantly runs out of swap space and trashes the filesystems
(ie, files in the filesystems), slowly but surely it trashes enough
files that it can no longer support it's self, and dies.  I am sure
it is running out of swap space, becuase I have managed to get some
messages about the OS killing processes in trying to salvage swap space
as it is dieing.

Question, is there any way to  increase the swap space on the machine
to a usable amount.  I am familier with a 3B2 and know how to do it
on that machine, (They have a nice start up procedure if you want do
it).  There appears to be no script to do it, and it does not give
you the option when loading the OS.

This problem has happend at LEAST 7 times in the last three weeks,
I cant use the machine (with confidence) if this is not fixed.
