Look, see that agetty ? It's swaped swaped out, if you go to VT9,
and hit return, it'll get swaped back.

There's proberbly some other stuff swaped out too (ps -m to see;), if
your really botherd turn the swap off, and back on:

swapoff -a; swapon -a

But make sure you have enough memory free to do this; really check don't
assume, or you end up with your box tring to swap all the data in, but
swaping out other data to try to make room (ie locked up).
