#12848 closed bug (fixed)
VirtualMemory crashes on exit if volume is read-only

Description
Test:
- Boot Haiku from CD or other read-only media.
- Open VirtualMemory preflet; it is not necessary to change any setting.
- Close VirtualMemory.
Result: VirtualMemory crashes with segment violation in SettingsWindow::_RecordChoices()
Resolution: VirtualMemory should not attempt to save settings to read-only media. Probably, it should inform the user that virtual memory cannot be used because the boot volume is read-only.

No longer reproducible on hrev52357 when booted from CD-RW. (Haven't tested this in a long time.)
Note 1: There is also no warning when trying to set a virtual memory size greater than zero with the CD-RW as the target. The setting is accepted, but allocated size remains zero bytes. Not necessarily an error, but potentially confusing?
Note 2: There is a warning when trying to disable virtual memory, even when still set to automatic size of zero bytes, which seems silly.
