Just a point of information: the swap script set to run at S20swap in

S60swap works OK.
Obviously, working with USB flash media slows everything down a tad. Maybe
the run order could be changed in the book; I can't see that it would
effect anybody else adversely.
This is the first time I've seen this. I agree that putting swap at the
end of rcS wouldn't affect anything, but I'm not sure why that is
necessary. After all / is already mounted so the disk should be available.
Do you have swap on a drive separate from the / partition?
I'll note that if your system actually uses swap, then the speed of the
process is really slowed. Actual use of swap on a USB flash system
would be truly awful. IMO, no swap at all would be better.
I'm open to changing when swap is initiated, but question if it's really
needed.
