please don't tell nonsense. having swap is always better, even if swapspace <
memsize.

a box running with xMB of swap in 2.2 may have some pb with 2.4 which wastes
swap space for less swap fragmentation/better locality.

so, when moving from 2.2 to 2.4, increasing your swap size may be a good idea.

cu Pixel (who have 128MB of mem, and 100MB of swap and won't change this!)
