i just set up my n770 to boot off the mmc card using the easy wiki method. does that mean that when i boot from the mmc card and set up a swap file in the control panel that the swap file is also running from the mmc card too? or is there another modification i need to do to accomplish that?

thanks!

If you followed the instructions, you're booting off partition 2 on your MMC.

The control panel always creates the swap file on partition 1 of your MMC (it's called .swap if you look at the directory) and there is no way to change this control panel behaviour.
