Two questions concerning swap
Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 5:43 am
Hi!
My 64 bit computer is broken and I must share a 32 bit laptop with other members of our family.
I'm writing a "HOWTO install 201012..." -> http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=141&t=62603
Because I could not boot from LMDE 201012/32 live, I burned a 64 bit medium (works well) and installed the new Debian on USB.
The computer I could use (but not now) has no swap, so in order to help people, please answer my two questions:
1. Normally a Linux installer asks to continue, if you have no swap;
what's about the LMDE installer, if you want to install Debian onto a hard disk without swap?
2. If you already have installed a Linux with swap partition and you add LMDE, does the Debian installer recognize it and format it
(as usually done by other Linux installers)?
