Or maybe make (*) / use existing swap partition on the hard disc, once 
the installer is under way switch to a terminal e.g. Control-Alt-F2 and 
do "swapon /dev/sda1" or whatever

(*) making a swap is well documented elsewhere, but in essence use fdisk 
to create a partition ~ 2x RAM size & of type 'swap'. Then run "mkswap 
/dev/sda1" or whatever to prepare it. These steps can also be done at 
the above stage, though if changing partition structure I'd advise to 
re-start the installation afterwards.

If doing this, ensure partitioning in installer is NOT set to format or 
delete the swap partition before agreeing to 'Install'...
