Thank you for the prompt merge!  I have a suggestion, which I will leave here and which could be done in a follow-up MP.

Setup of swap in the install environment is interesting.  This could come up with a side-by-side or multi-disk scenario, but under normal conditions the swap that we may have created at install time isn't enabled, which affects the calculation.    Would it make sense to say "no swap" here and have the tester verify that state with the command `free`?
