Linux swap partition cannot be more than 128MB, but you can have more than
one swap partition.
You may not have formatted the partition before proceeding for install.
There is no need to reduce from 2gb to 700MB. However instead of making one
large partition it is adviceable to have separate partitions for different
tasks, such as /home, /var, /usr, /boot, /tmp etc. How much to keep for
each partition depends on what you wish to you use the computer for.
Keep in mind, that /usr partition is the place all the packages will be
installed. So allocate generously to this.
Regarding SiS 6215 refer to the previous postings.
