actually, slackware recommends the swap partition to be first,
and the 2nd partition to be the rest of the drive (maybe they're
assuming you dont have a hd larger than 8.4G).
here is my setup:
hda1 2G -> windoze
hda2 2G -> slackware 7
hda3 2G -> lfs : kernel 2.4.2(linuxfromscratch.org)
hda4 13G -> fat32 partition where i store most of my files
and i never had any problems with this setup, medyo malayo
na to sa swap issue, but anyway, i just wanted to show you
that the kernel can reside past 2G.

for home use, 256MB ram might even eliminate the use of a swap
partition.
