a] /proc/kcore is probably about the size of your RAM, eh? (hint
things in /proc don't physically exist on disk, its a metaphor)

b] make sure you have /dev/hda6 defined in /etc/fstab

something like:
/dev/hda6               swap                    swap    defaults 0 0

make sure you've initialized the partition (mkswap /dev/hda6)..

then run swapon -a 

.. swapon should be in your startup scripts and it will be automatic
for you once the partition is initialized and in fstab.
