I can't give any technical references, but i can say what i did.  When the 
installer complained about wanting 18gb of swap for our HP-UX Itanium Oracel 
11.1.0.6 install, i tried to bypass it with only 4gb.  It worked fine.  The SA 
said he couldn't get to expanding it right away, and i got impatient.  
Just my experience.

Subject: Swap Space


I am installing Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 on a linux server running RH 5.x with 18gb of 
emory.  According to the Oracle install guide it recommends a swap space equal 
o total memory or 18gb.  Does it really require swap space of 18gb?  If I 
llocate less space for swap (say 8gb), will that have any adverse effects?
Thanks in advance,
