https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340153 Summary: use existing swap file instead of recreating it each time during installation Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: pczanik@genesi-usa.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: snwint@novell.com Found By: --- A great feature was added to 10.3, the possibility to use swap files during installation ( http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2007-05/msg00395.html ). This makes possible to install 10.3 on low RAM machines. Problem: currently the installer creates a _new_ swap file on each installation, even if the file is already available. Creating a 1GB swap file on an USB key might take half an hour, which adds considerably to the installation time. Enhancement: Please make it possible to use existing files as swap files, as this could drastically shorten installation times. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
