For an installation that /requires/ swap, due to a limited RAM target, simply to
proceed, an extra swap from the target freespace could be created in a

I do understand your frustration, the Manual option for the Debian

It took me a while to absorb, and understand... see further comment below

that reformat "feature" is hateful. I fail to see any advantage.
It does break the other systems, but they can be recovered by editing
you fstab file with the New UUID as you know.
I use the Manual mode... _auto installers never seem to get it right_
(my way).

Windows uses a swap file, not a separate partition. We are told that
there is no performance penalty for Linux to do so also.

Not true. There's another selectable option I always use: create no swap. /If/

Hello all,
Longer version of the question : –
Why does the Debian Graphical installer compromise any other Linux install
on the same HDD/SSD by reformatting swap. I doubt that it affects Windows
since it does not use swap (I do not have any Windows installed so cannot
