Package: dphys-swapfile Version: 20061020-3 Severity: wishlist I am working on a system with 512MB disk space and 256MB RAM... so you should see a potential problem here :) The usual calculation of swap = 2 x RAM is not very useful.
I created the system without a swap partition because I needed the flexibility of changing the swap size as I develop on it. When I installed dphys-swapfile, it tried to create a swapfile bigger than the disk and so failed to install. I then had to delete the swapfile, run dpkg -a --whatever, and purge dphys-swapfile. Can there be an debconf option to specify the size of the swap file *before* it attempts to create it?
