spessifying partitions on linux for swap durring installation

[Jared]

Hello I am going to install redhat. My question is durring the installation
how can I tell it to use /dev/hda2 for swap and /dev/hda3 for everything
else with disk druid? Thanks for any help on this.

Hi, if you used Linux fdisk there is an option called change  partition  
type, or 
something 
like that. Anyway, you need to set it to type 82, and then Linux will 
automatically asign it as a swop.
Now, it will prompt you with a dialog to select your mount points in 
diskdruid.
Basically, the first place you are is the list of partitions. Arrow to the 
one you want, and tab to the edit button. This is really tricky at first.
If you want everything installed in one place in the edit box simply put a 
/ there, and it will put everything in /dev/hda3 which will be called /.

Ok I used partition magic to create a linux swap partition. I'm going to
read some more in the installation guide tomoro then try and pray I don't
fry my system.
