diskdruid will give you less control than fdisk. It usually forces it to the end of the disk... nothing you can do. I don't advise that you put swap at the beginning of the disk, since if you're using an x86, you better have yerself a /boot partition (if you're using an IDE disk) at the beginning

Being sincere, I haven“t noticed that. I usually mark my swap partitions as grow to full disk, and space is distributed on same quantities, as I make usually same size swap parts. -Manuel. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
