If you had a previous install, the swap was probably activated.  The
quick fix is to run (as root) '/sbin/swapoff -a' before starting the
install process.  I noticed this right after we sent test2 off to the
mirrors :(  Noted in the release notes
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F8Test2/ReleaseNotes) for test2, though
