There are many ways to skin this cat. Have you seen the wiki page?
You can of course use parted on the device but a more newbie-friendly option is use GParted to partition your SD card to your liking. If you do not have a Linux machine, no problem. Just download a live CD and boot it on any machine that allows booting from a CD. You may need to enable that in the BIOS first.
Thank you for your answer. I have read many pages regarding using swap no microSD, but I am not sure how to do it correctly. So I have asked for instructions step by step to avoid mistakes, that might destruct my filesystem and therefore "brick" my N900. If you could be so kind, please direct me to easy solution.
