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.
