I am planning to partition a 2.5GB HD using FIPS. My system is a 
Pentium 166, running Windows95(B). 
I am confused by the following text of the fips.doc file

  "...But before starting FIPS you _must_ now defragment your Harddisk.
   All of the space that will be used for the new partition must be free.
   Be aware that the Windows Swapfile will not be moved by most defragmentation
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   programs. You must uninstall it (in the 386enhanced part of the Windows 
   Control Panel) and reinstall it after using FIPS."

How do I find the "Windows Swapfile" and how do I uninstall it?
Is it important to do this?

Steve.
