HD Install :: Installing to the hd... How?

When you do..

Code Sample

dsl-hdinstall

Do you install it to the swap partition or the other partition?

Swap is the same as "virtual memory" on Windows. Once a partition is formatted as swap, it can't be used for anything else (until you reformat it).
It is also possible to use a swap file on Linux, although this is less common than using swap partitions. See here.

An example guide can be found in the wiki: i.e. http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_to_the_Hard_Disk
