This is a problem, because the easiest way to make the two-partition setup
is to create a swap partition of 2x memory size, and "the rest" for /.
That's the way I do it for my x86 boxes with limited disk space (< 1GB).
Glad that my Alpha has a 1 GB disk, so I used the auto defaults settings.
Has a PR been filed for this one?
