Are you going to install this on anything smaller than 8 GB?  If not, just
take out the --grow --maxsize, and make them all 2GB.  IMHO disk druid is
not great at partitioning using the --grow feature more than once.  Which
version of Red Hat are you using?

You can see the swap file size by doing `fdisk -l` or `fdisk -l /dev/hda`
[or sda, hdb, etc.], or even `cat /proc/partitions`
