Yes, I could do that, so thanks,
torreydale
, for the timely response.
(I was wondering about the necessity of Swap, in the first place,
and noticed it is being discussed on ON TOPIC here, so I shall pay close attention to that.)

And it worked. Again, thanks!

@elelme
,
Since it appears you just installed using a Systemback created Live ISO, it would seem simpler to consider re-running that and remembering to create a swap partition as part of your setup. In fact, you could even create a Live ISO of your current setup using Systemback, and use THAT to rebuild your computer. Create 3 partitions (/, SWAP, and /home) in that order. Make the / (ie. root) and /home partitions EXT4 primary partitions, and you could be done. Backup your /home partition beforehand and restore afterwards, of course.

In trying to leave dual-boot status and become LL-only, I made a live ISO with Systemback and reinstalled.
Only problem is it made no swapfile, tho the ZRAM does seem to be nearly enough. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Note: I tried to use GParted to add a small partition formatted swapfile, but it doesn't want to recognize the partition on boot.
Maybe there is a terminal command to get this recognized permanently? Or maybe there is a program that makes a dynamic
swapfile, should the need arise?
