WANTED:more swap space on a 3b1

[Richard Kuhns]

Can anyone offer a way to request more swap space when reformatting
the hard disk on a 3b1?  I would really like more than 5000 blocks.
What I'd really like to hear is ``Sure -- I've got a copy of s4diag
that asks how many blocks you'd like to allocate for swapping.''
If I'm dreaming, I'd settle for the location of the hard-coded
4000/5000 and I'll try patching in new values manually.  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

What I'd like to do is compile using gcc with optimization from
GNUemacs -- this has a tendency to use all swap space fairly quickly
resulting in `Out of virtual memory' messages which *don't* appear
when emacs isn't running.

Once again, thanks (in advance).
