Does that mean the amount of swap space needed increases with amount of RAM?

Is that for the purpose of accommodating possible core dump?  This is difficult 
to achieve with a system that has generous RAM, when installing to a USB stick.

I suppose one could use swap space on a hard drive in that case.
