Hello, The following string is still present into anaconda: "Recent kernels (2.4 or newer) need significantly more swap than older kernels, up to twice the amount of RAM on the system. You currently have %dMB of swap configured, but you may create additional swap space on one of your file systems now." First, Fedora has a 2.6 kernel since FC, maybe the mention of the 2.4 kernel can be revamped. Further, the calculation can be misleading new comers. If your computers has 4GB of RAM, anaconda requires 8GB of swap, which is not that appropriate. I'm no expert into telling how much swap one may need, but the string could be somehting like : "Fedora kernels need swap, up to twice the amount of RAM on the system if you have less than 1GB if RAM. If you have 1GB of RAM, set a minimum of 1GB of swap. Don't hesitate to add more swap if you use Fedora as a web server for example. You currently have %dMB of swap configured, but you may create additional swap space on one of your file systems now." ... but i'm no expert of it. With regards
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. We already have a swap suggestion elsewhere in anaconda, so I've decided to use that suggestion in the upgrade case instead of inventing yet another one. If you'd like to discuss changing that swap suggestion, we can do that elsewhere. I've also eliminated the reference to 2.4. That was some seriously old code.
