I don't actually need the swap partition, it's just there... ummm... not
sure why; I installed on this machine before I found out that swap is 
broken. And it's not that I *think* swap is broken; it's been confirmed 
by others. If I ever dig up a really old laptop with 32 MB of RAM or
something, it could be worth it to try fixing swap, but since that itch
doesn't exist I'm not going to scratch it.
