How set up ReadyBoost (equivilent) on Xubuntu laptop?

How set up ReadyBoost (equivilent) on Xubuntu laptop? I'm setting up an old Thinkpad 600e laptop using Xubuntu. The machine has only 160MB of memory (all I could find - 32MB onboard, + 2 x 64MB expansions), so it's paging like mad during normal use.

"How to: ReadyBoost with Ubuntu Linux

mind you, Ubuntu, even in its 'lightest' flavor with the Xfce desktop environment is a rather heavy weight linux distro compared to DSL or Puppy."

You can simply create and activate a swap partition on the flash drive, but keep in mind that if you do this, your computer will crash if the flash drive is unplugged.
