Right. So you're saying that desktop installers set swap to be 2x RAM by default, just in case the user decides to download suspend2, which didn't exist at the time the installer was written and isn't included in the distro, and *then* chooses to suspend to swap?
I don't follow your argument. Why would an installer have default settings based on optional behaviour of a program that isn't even included in the distro and requires recompiling the kernel to use? On 28/02/07, Howard Lowndes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

You can also select "File Writer" and save the suspend data on a file on the hard disk instead, but I prefer the swap method since it's easier to set up. Compile, install your kernel, and reboot to it."
