Just build the system with no swap disk, then create your swap file in
the %post

Subject: swapfile instead of swap partition?


Is there a way to specify that the kickstart script should create a
swapfile instead of a swap partition?

My goal is to partition the disk with just one partition formatted as
ext3 and that contains a swapfile.

Searched the list archives with google[1] but only found hits for "swap"
but not "swapfile".  Also had a look through the docs[2] but again only
"swap" no "swapfile".

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
