   Does Slitaz support swap? The installer does not see one. I always do 3 main partitions: 1 swap, 1 root and 1 home. I can see the three of them but the installer only configures root and home.

   Because swap space gets detected and used automatically - you don't have to configure it if you already created it.

   So there is no need to manually create a swap partition with gparted? or i do it anyway?

   Tazpanel SliTaz Installer/tazinst can't make partitions of any type and can't format swap partitions. It can format / and /home partitions only.
   It is convenient for reformating/reinstalling slitaz to an existing partition.
   My only objection is that it includes microsoft filesystem options (fat32,ntfs) to which linux should never be installed.
   Use this: Applications/System Tools/Gparted Partition Editor
   There is no need to manually add swap to the fstab file.
   Line 194 of bootopts.sh adds the swap partition to /etc/fstab if it detects a swap partition and runs swapon -a.

   @mojo: You're right, fat32 and ntfs options are now gone. Fixed in http://hg.slitaz.org/tazpanel/rev/c025287a4253
