You might still need some swap though. Since this is a release of the DP series (developer preview) it makes a lot of sense to have swap space available. Otherwise, it will probably be difficult to get crash dumps. This being a ``developer preview'' release, you might need the ability to get crash dumps if you happen to stumble upon an unknown bug. Bearing that in mind, the change that made a swap partition ``mandatory'' was revision 1.117 of src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/install.c You don't *HAVE* to create a swap partition. What you see is just a warning that sysinstall prints, if you have warnings enabled in the ``Options'' menu (they are enabled by default, if I'm not mistaken in my reading of the source).
