It should read "twice the amount of memory, up to 1 GB of > swap." In general, you should *never* need that amount of swap. There $ swapon -s Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/hda7 partition 1485972 0 -1 This was setup by the installer (guided partitioning; the system has 512MB RAM). I complained about it in my install report [0].

It is true that that is somewhat high for system with a lot of internal memory. However, it does not do any harm either.
