I don't get it, how swap is related to installing software on extra storage?

Also, I want to install software not only on MMC, but on network
shares and have them visible automatically. Imagine that I want my
"program-that-I-just-use-at-home" to be on a NFS/SMB share at home, so
when I connect it will be available. When I'm at work, it'll just
vanish and no space is wasted.
