On my FC installs I have made the mistake of creating at install time
a /swap partition that is 512 mgb.  That is not big enough!  Apparently
Mozilla downloads anything and everything first to the /swap partition
and _then_ moves it to where-ever you thought the file was being stored.
So downloads of CD images fail.  Took me the longest time to figure out
what was going on. I would suggest making the /swap partition large
enough to handle any file that would fill up a DVD.
