Right, Ananconda wanted to ensure I had a swap space of at least 2 * memory
size, for a 128M machine with 128M of swap and no other available partitions
it was asking that I create a swap file on one of the disks. The bug was in
the selection code for picking a partition - I got an empty list to pick
from. There was no way past this display which did not crash anaconda,
however, my system was still intact in its old state, so there is actually
no harm in trying. If you can squeeze a few more megs of swap space in
somewhere you will probably never see the display which crashes.
