New question #46190 on Ubuntu Eee:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/46190

At installing ubuntu-eee on a 901, I selected guided and the 16Gb SSD, and I ended up with a 
swap of only 690.26 Mb (/dev/sdb5). I've read in other posts that the recommended
size of the swap is 1024 Mb, as the RAM. Should I bother about this? How can I increase
the size of the swap? Is there any way of avoiding having to reformat all the 16Mb SSD and
do the whole thing again?

(BTW, if the recommended size of the swap is equal to the actual size
of the ram, why is the installation program selecting 690.29 Mb instead of 1024?)

Thanks!

Agus
