I'll just post a followup to my own message, perhaps it will help anyone
with the same problem.

I rsync'ed current, and burned a CD, and made a clean install of slackware
current on one of my machines, and after only 32 minutes uptime, I have
already used 208 kb of my swap partition

I'm not sure whether it was some faulty upgrade with swaret, or my something
else, but at least slackware-current itself is not to fault.

I did notice something strange during the installation, and was wondering
if anyone else have recently installed a clean copy of slackware-current.

No /etc/fstab file was written to my harddrive during the installation, and
lilo.conf had /dev/fd2 as root instead of /dev/hda1. I hade to manually
edit those two files to make my system boot after the installation
