Minimum Alpine partition scheme

This section mentions that swap partition is needed... Is this true for the current alpine setup scripts? Can alpine be setup without swap? Or perhaps with a swap file instead? If the setup script allows no swap or swap file, the statement about swap partitions being mandatory should be removed. zcrayfish (talk) 01:30, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

My comments on this:

If you run setup-disk with the SWAP_SIZE environment variable set to 0 (i.e. SWAP_SIZE=0 setup-disk), then the script won't create any swap.
As far as I can tell, a swap partition isn't mandatory (for example I've set up a VM that uses the entire disk without partitioning, the VM software handles loading the kernel so there's no bootloader either).
Also, it should be scheme instead of sheme (missing the 'c')

Good catch, I didn't notice the other guy's typo. zcrayfish (talk) 00:05, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
