Probably not. There are too many possibilities to make reasonable any default except "do what the user explicitly says is desired".
The usual problems are hot-swap devices (USB, ESATA, etc.) that may be present during installation but not later, and swap spaces intended for other operating systems than the one currently being installed. It seems prudent to have the installer perform mkswap on any spaces the user identifies for use by this installed system, but mkswap will destroy data in a swap space in use by another (perhaps hibernating) system. Swapon will not activate any swap space it perceives as in use. With several operating systems "sharing" a swap space, it is easy to imagine one system does not shut down cleanly, and this swap space is then not used for months, even years, until someone fixes the problem or a new installation performs mkswap. There are cases where shared swap spaces may make sense. I think these are more appropriate to set up after installation, with edits to /etc/fstab, than with additional complexity in the system installer. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
