Answer / sudeep
Only two partitions / and /boot are required, because in
systems which have sufficient RAM you dont really need the
/swap partition as we all know that the reason for having
the swap partition. Linux systems typically use a partition
as swap space. This is where unused items taking up space in
memory are placed until they are needed again so that the
memory they are using can be used for something else.
Which means that if you have sufficient RAM on your computer
you really dont need the /swap partition at all.
