That is exactly what happened.

Also, as I posted earlier, playing with 2 swap partitions, swapon manually to 
smaller, later marking it for deletion by druid, resulted in two entries in 
vt3 (or vt4) enabling swap (smaller size) priority 1, and right underneath 
it, enabling swap (larger size) priority 2.

Still crashed the miniconda decompressing the packages because mem=8M is too 
little :(
