I do have RAM though (123 MBs of it).

I really hope I don't have to redo everything over again. >.<

Edit: Yup it's not being detected by the system, I tried programs that need swap to run and they all just crash to desktop due to lack of swap.
My scripts when you use them to clone, create the swap partition. Which you should already have, they also turn swap on during boot.

You need to call the swapon from a startup script

Just add

swapon /dev/mmcblk0p3 (or 1p3 depending on which card your using)

you can also just run from the command line

Type free in xterm to see swap info

free
