Newbie's partition problem: 1GB RAM and 353MB swap?

[Bob D.]

As the subject says, I've got 1GB RAM and the installer wants to make a
353MB swap partition. Isn't that really small? I thought it was supposed
to be ~2x the RAM. My test box has 192MB RAM and Ubuntu made a 489MB
swap partition there.

FYI, I'm installing onto a 18.3GB SCSI drive. This drive has a 10.7GB
partition for XP Pro and programs and 7.6GB of free space now that I've
removed FC2 and deleted all the old partitions.

As always, thanks all!

Bob
