If you've got some free space on your disk you can add another swap partition. Alternatively, if you've no free space left to create a new partition, you can create a swap file. "man mkswap" for more info. You will need to use swapon to specify that swapping is to take place on the file or partition.

Of course, the best solution is to add more RAM.
