I was attempting to create a swap file:
mkswap -f /var/swap
I get “/var/swap No such file or directory”
Am I supposed to create the file first? The documentation I found does not say that, so I am concerned.

Yes, you’ll need to create the file first. dd
is the standard choice:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap bs=1024 count=131072 mkswap /var/swap swapon
this’d create a 128meg swap file.
