Bug Description
Binary package hint: dell-recovery
Version: 0.60
OS: 10.10
Currently if recovery media is ran on a system with an SSD, a swap partition is still created. Possibly this swap partition will be too small, causing hibernate to not function properly.
Also, it may potentially wear down the SSD sooner.
If an SSD is detected, swap should not be included in the recipe.

---------------
dell-recovery (0.60) maverick; urgency=low
* When genisoimage fails, be more informative in it's error message
to the user about why it may have failed.
* Merge translations from launchpad.
* Mark some more strings translatable that previously weren't.
* For FISH scripts, just execute them rather than special casing python and
shell. This means all scripts need #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/python at the top.
* If FIST is found, don't extract the UP. This means factory process ( of
some sort )
* Reverse the order of calling /tmp/set_
to prevent problems with BTO Anywhere.
* When calling scripts in non-negotiable, don't use exec. (LP: #602414)
* Update for deprecated isInstalled to use is_installed instead.
* Add a new tri-state knob for configuring the behavior of swap
dell-
- false will force swap on
- false will force swap off
- dynamic (default) will detect small drives (<=64GB). If one of these
is found, disable the creation of a swap partition. (LP: #601780)
* Disable terminal spawning if debug-ubiquity mode is enabled since the
same effect can be achieved with ctrl-alt-T.
* Drop support for running in virtualbox. If it's actually desirable, vbox
has support to modify the DMI information.
* For grub conffiles, write out in the new 10.10 syntax when working with
newer media.
* Write out a UUID to search for in the grub conffile in the event that it's
not actually on hd0.
