Ok! I think i did the wrong question: When i install free, i must set a swap partition! The questions is: If i have enough memory, why the install utility does not install the OS if i don't set a swap partition (of course, i am not requiring the installer do guest if i have enough menory or not. But if i decide not to have a swap partition, then it should install Free without a swap partition)? -- Your mouse has moved. Windows NT must be restarted for the change to take effect! Reboot now?
