And really it is a performance question as long as you have 256M of real 
memory, the rest swap.  Since I always make my swap > 2xRAM, I am always 
installing on a system with at least 768Mb combined.

I do not like the DIsk Druid default of putting the swap drive into the 
LVM partition.  I always redo the partitions so that swap is its own 
partition.
