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.
