Description Michal Jaegermann 2002-03-18 00:55:14 UTC
Description of Problem:

After painstainkingly creating with Disk Druid a partition table
which includes 2000 MiB swap partition one is kicked out of the
whole installation, quite late and after many other steps, on the
pretext that there is not enough of a swap space as at least 80 KiB
is required.  Apparently 'mkswap' is quite convinced that this
device is of a zero size.  A partition table not re-read after it
is made?
