Yes, I got 128 MB swap as well. Partitioned from a 4GB HD -what's 128 MB
in these days?. I read that you *shold* add a swap partition (no matter
what size) in every case. My old 486 swapped (o rather paged) a lot. I
had 32RAM/54 swap there. But I never managed to run out of swap. And I
tried hard. ;-)
