How much RAM does your system have?
At the moment, sysinst calculates a "default swap partition size"
based on the amount of RAM in the system.
There's been discussions to do one of the following (in increasing
order of effort in changing sysinst):
+ leave as is
+ leave as is, except clamp the max swap size to 64MB (for example)
+ don't bother adding swap size
+ allow user to specify size of swap, even in "non custom" configs,
defaulting to RAM size. (this would require extra menus in
sysinst.
