It will choose 2 x RAM (1024MB) which is way too big for most things. Unless you plan on running really big apps that will require lots of swap. I suggest to do what I did, and modify it to be 518MB (the smallest size for 512MB of RAM that Fedora will allow without a "warning" message). You should be fine with that. This is done during the install process (check the box that says "review partition setup" or something like that, in order to modify what Fedora chooses). 2) I'm not really sure what the S2D partition is/does... sorry. 3) I know other Linux distros (even Live CD's) will make use of this same swap partition, but I am not sure about freeBSD. I'm thinking of installing freeBSD in the future myself, so I'd be interested to know too! -Steve.
