Dear people, I ran into a small problem while going through the debian installer for 3.0r1. During the hard disk partitioning phase ...how do you createa swap partition...cos when I try use the command "C [startfreeblock] /dev/sdaX", select 512Mb then type Linux swap as the type of partition I get an error about bad size??! Later on when I try to make this swap partition useable the installer doesn't find it so I always end up choosing "Do Without Swap partition". ..is the lack of a swap partition really deterimental to performance? I have a beige g3-400, with 512Mb Ram and 18Gig SCSI disk.
Thanx
