Swap will kill a flash disk pretty quickly.  Unless you want to throw an insane 
amount of RAM at your MythTV box so that it never has to swap (mine has 1 GB, 
and it still shows some swap activity since the last reboot), you're going to 
need some swap.

(I suppose you could put it on the same disk that has your recordings.  I'd 
rather have the recordings disk have just recordings on it, though, and put the 
rootfs and swap on the boot disk.)
