Well this doesn't make sense, since:
1. The system has perfectly fine 192MB of RAM, thus the installation
should scceed anyway...
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.
Yes but I would rather preferr to do SWAP to file.
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).
Yes I have tried this. But apparently sysinstall *still* enforced the presence
of a SWAP parition. Anyway I will try to nuke the swap parition by
using growfs.
