Ouch. You really, really, don't want to be using any CF storage as a swap
partition. If you're just running a front end, you don't need swap[1], so turn
it off. If you do need swap, it's easier to just add more RAM instead.
[1] Exception might be if you're thinking of suspending the system between uses,
instead of shutting down/rebooting.
