Hi I just installed and only now noticed this oddity (to me at least). Maybe it's been explained before, but I can't quite remember. I selected auto defaults for the slice editor. The system I installed (amd64) on has 16GB of RAM yet it only assigned 4GB for swap. I remember reading that on amd64 minidumps could corrupt neighbouring filesystems, so a full dump could be up to 16GB. There won't be enough space for a full dump. That said, 16GB is quite a *lot* to swap out and I'm not sure how the system would perform under that scenario. What's the prevailing wisdom? Is this a variable storage type bug in the installer - int in stead of an off_t or size_t? Ian -- Ian Freislich
