I erred in setting up my F30 system.  Since the notebook has 4GB memory, the install set up swap of 4GB.

This is not enough.  I have two options.  Add more memory (which will take more electrons to support), or enlarge swap.  Of course more swapping even to an SSD will probably use more electrons (this is about battery life).

So the question for now is can I shrink partition 4-5 (why did the install do it this way?) and expand swap, or is this just too risky and just go with more memory.

thanks
