I don't believe you can, fossil is usually used with venti and venti can definitely
be grown on the fly, fossil alone is normally confined to just laptops where this is
not an issue.

good question, though on a positive note swap doesn't work anyway
(except on the 9front form) so I would delete it as if the machine
starts to swak it could wedge.

this is not such a pain as it might appear, swapping makes performance
so miserable its not really worth having, especially given how cheap a
few GB of RAM is these days.
