Description

An installation without specifying a swap partition. When a system has sufficient memory, the installer should warn, but not restrict this request.

Setup

  1. Prepare a test system with a working, supported storage device of sufficient size for a Fedora install, and a Fedora installation medium that uses the GTK-based installer. Do not use Fedora Workstation live on Fedora 41+, as that uses the webui-based installer.

How to test

Template:Templateartitioning actions Template:Templateartitioning custom single blank

  1. Ensure only the single target device you prepared is selected as the

installation target disk.

  1. Ensure the option to configure partitioning yourself is selected,

and complete this screen.

  1. On the MANUAL PARTITIONING screen, delete all existing

partitions (if any).

  1. Pick 'Standard partition' from the New mount points will use the

following partitioning scheme: drop-down

  1. Click the Click here to create them automatically link
  2. delete swap partition,and click Donetwice

Expected Results

Template:Templateartitioning results

  1. Anaconda warns that system performance may suffer without a swap partition
  2. Anaconda allows the installation to complete successfully for systems with sufficient system memory (consult the Hardware Overview section of the release notes for minimum hardware requirements). For systems with insufficient memory, anaconda must require the presence of a swap partition.
  3. Reboot successfully into installed system
  4. Confirm that no swap partition is in use (/proc/swaps)
