Hi:
Does anyone know the trick in getting around the swap problem ? The installer says I must add a swap partition before continuing. The only option is "OK"

Thanks,
Koz

It seems that the swapon is not working at this stage. I press "OK", too.

After pressing OK, I am back to where I started and it will not let me continue.

How did you manage to get past this point ?

Thanks for the reply,
Koz

I got the same problem when I trying to install it on system disk, I am not sure if this is the cause. Just for you information.
