We keep talking about needing lots of swap space.  How much do you need?
On our big company system ( > 60 users) we have a swap partition of
16MB.   If you are running on a single user system with 16MB+ of memory,
I wouldn't think you'd need much, if any, swap.  In that case, the
single removable disk is not a problem.
