Hi, sorry for wasting time and space. My work with other OS made me think I would find something in swap. I allready found something on "http://ldp.atnet.at/LDP/LG/issue67/tag/8.html" that I might find useful. I got interrupted by the crash call when installing SuSE, I will see the crashed machine in a couple of hours. Thank you, Kurt.

Uhhh. Well that depends on what you want to do. More swap never really hurts and disk space is literally dirt cheap now, so why not. Core dumps are typically dumped into the filesystem, not the swap partition, so I'm not sure I understand the exact question. One thing to keep in mind:
less space makes forensics easier, but increases the chances something deleted will actually get overwritten (and be really gone) zero'ing free space once in a while will also make forensics easier, but also wipe anything deleted andmake it (basically) unrecoverable.
