Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't linux REQUIRE some sort of swap? If you don't give a swap partition, it should just make a swap page, right?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/28/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

On a second note, for those who want to do a full install to flash<br>media of any sort, it's best to NOT use swap space on the device.<br>Flash media has limited write cycles and running swap on it will run<br>down your devices lifetime. If you have a (somewhat) disposable
<br>device, putting swap on it may speed up your system a little, but it<br>might also lead to memory errors in the future. Keep an eye out on<br>all those guys running ReadyBoost in Vista, as it's a long term file<br>
caching system and does not do a bunch of R/W operations like swap<br>does.<br><br></blockquote></div><br>
