Nope, the problem is you need to create a suiteable swap disk, when running fdisk during installation.

Installation doesn't require much swap disk, but give it at least 2-300
megs. And dont forget to restart your computer after changes in partition

Eh? I thought the installation didn't use a swap disk. I suppose if you created a swap partition before hand with MacOS-based pdisk, you could then start it with

# swapon /dev/sdaP

where /dev/sdaP is the swap partition.

Alternatively, we might be able to mount a HFS partition and create a swapfile on it, but that would require better HFS support.

But then, maybe I'm wrong...

(Keep in mind that MkLinux doesn't support swap partitions >128 MB.)
