I don't see a problem it being enabled on the installed system aswell.
In fact I turned all my swap partitions off on my 1 GB RAM (in fact 750
MB RAM available only) netbook and only ran with zram which makes this
netbook run a lot faster and swapping is only noticed on many
applications open and when the cpu really needs to compress / decompress
lots and lots of data (i.e. audio editing files above 1 GB which is a
special case as those also get temporary layed out in /tmp which is
tmpfs and eats up ram + swap also)
