Initializing Swap Space

4.8 Initializing Swap Space

Now the installation program will look for swap partitions (see Figure 26). If it finds any, it asks whether you want to initialize them. Select the partition(s) you wish to initialize as swap space using [Space]; if you wish to check the partitions for bad blocks, select the Check for bad blocks during format box. Choose Ok, and press [Space].

Figure 26: Initializing Swap Space

If the installation program can't find a swap partition and you're sure one exists, make sure you have set the partition type to Linux swap; see Section 4.7 for information on how this is done with Disk Druid or fdisk.
