    point taken...the machine is rather light: 48MB of EDO
    RAM, 200mhz pentium classic and a 3GB hard disk (to be
    used only as a firewall and wireless bridge)

    my fdisk for the target disk (before) starting the
    installation was

    sda1 / 2920MB (bootable) ext3
    sda2 swap ~80MB

    being an old Solaris geek I still stay close to the 2
    times RAM rule of thumb for swap.

    I left his alone and all I did was under druiddisk I
    set the target mountpoint for sda1. I had already run
    mkswap on the swap partition.
