Package: partman Severity: normal Tags: d-i Currently partman calls swapon in mount.d. The problem is that this happens after filesystems have been mkfsed, and mkfs commands can use a lot of memory. If partman had a special case to format and swapon swap partitions before formatting anything else, that would let the installer run on systems with about 2 mb less memory than it currently supports.
