Hi, Dan.

If you're running a 'live' session from an ISO DVD image in a VM, you 
would expect to see /dev/zram0 as a swap device. The problem is that it 
should not still be present after installation to hard disk. I would 
expect the same to be true if you are running a VM from e.g. a *.vdi 
virtual disk image under VirtualBox.

Bye,

   Tony.
