  does an f17 install *require* me to create a swap partition?
since, as it stands, i don't think i need one.  my laptop has 16G of
RAM and right now, even in the middle of an openembedded build, i have
piles of RAM to spare:

$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:      16412164   11546132    4866032          0     538128    7805748
-/+ buffers/cache:    3202256   13209908
Swap:     31250428          0   31250428
$

  i can always just throw a swap partition on the regular hard drive,
knowing that it's unlikely to ever be used.
