HD Install :: ¿which one is the best partition architecture?



First let me expres my warmer congratulation and admiration to creators of DSL... it is a real jewell !!. After test others small distros trying to wake up my old love (Toshiba Satellite 220 80 Mb RAM 1.4 Gb HD, originally with Windows95) DSL WORKS 100% FINE!!!!. Installation was easy and clean and my oldy works better than new; USB (never works before with W95) PCMCIA cards, etc.. :laugh:  :laugh:
I just have a question (maybe stupid)... before install, I made 2 partitions (with cfdisk): hda1 1.2 Gb(ext2) and hda2 .2 Gb(linux-swap), but installation script do not request a swap, so I am not sure about if these architecture is right or if I am doing an unuseful thing  ???
Your advices will be very appreciated
With only 80Mb of RAM you made a good choice using a swap partition.  DSL should recognize this swap partition automatically.  If DSL does not recognize it then you need to make sure that the partition is formatted and setup correctly.  

mkswap /dev/hda2
swapon /dev/hda2

Good Luck,

Thanks a lot to Your Fuzzy God!!!
So, in console I will run the adviced commands... right?
And, if everything is OK, how can I confirm that?
Thanks again
You can start the LiveCD and it should recognize the swap partition.
Your Fuzzy God... thank you very much!!!
I just put into prectice your advice and ¡PRESTO! ... swap appears in the small control panel at the left inferior corner of the screen.
Best regards  :laugh:
