And while we're at it, has anyone else added a bunch of memory to their system and then realized that their (default) swap partition was way too small? I vote for the auto-sized swap to be a function both of amount of memory and *size of disk*, so that if you have a "big" disk, then you get extra of swap even if you only have, say, 16MB of memory while installing. For example, what if the default size of a swap partition was (memsize * 2) * max(1, disksize / 1G) (rounded up appropriately), where the scale factor is 1 for disks 1GB or less in size, but magnified linearly above that size?
