Hmmm. I know that if I formatted my hard disk with disk/prep -a that 
I would have a default swap partition. Somebody please tell me that 
the standard CD-ROM installation procedure created the swap partition 
for me and all I have to do is give it a name for the "swap" command. 
If someone can't tell me this, please lie to me.
