You can do this with gnome in corepure64 by double-clicking on a file in nautilus - it will ask which app to use to open the file and remember from then on. I haven't tried with nautilus outside of gnome. I also seem to remember that there was a way to do this with emelfm.

There's a screenshot utility built in - click on the desktop, then choose SystemTools/ScreenShot

Do you mean add a swapfile or increase hd partition space?

Use the Apps gui, select tags and enter "screenshot" for example

You don't mention what you're using for sound, but assuming you're using alsa, open a terminal window, enter "alsamixer" and use the arrow keys to adjust the volume.
