I think you can leave it set to "swap". The important thing is to
_not_ specify this partition when you tell the system to set up your
swap partition, and make sure its name is not given in /etc/fstab as
a swap partition.

That's not good. Please have fdisk print the partition table out to
a file and send it to me (or the list).

The Adaptec driver will work on some BusLogic cards, as the BusLogic
cards emulate an adaptec. The BusLogic driver was not included because
it would mess up if an Adaptec card was present.
I have uploaded a new set of boot floppies
(they might still be in ftp://ftp.debian.org/private/project/Incoming)
boot-1.2.13-7-{1200,1440}.gz . These have a new BusLogic driver that
might work a bit better.

Someone else on the list should help with X, as I haven't the expertise.
