When doing a net (and therefore text mode) install, the dialog box for creating new partitions doesn't work properly. You can't tab to the "partition type" selector, making it impossible to create a swap partition.
By net install, do you mean you used the ftp method?
Yes, sorry. FTP.
hmmm ... this is working for me ...
I can duplicate it on beta1. I'll test with beta2 (just arrived today) and see what happens.
Works for me in current build.
