Swap partition

Hello,



I have FreeBSD installed on my desktop, with 2 GB of RAM and

4 GB swap partition and this swap partition is very seldom

touched by the system and then only 2-3% used.






I want to install FreeBSD on a laptop with 4 GB of RAM and a
hard disk of 100 GB. Should I waste 8 GB for a swap partition,
as it is recommended in the handbook?

Thanks for any advice,


Eugen
