I wish to go out of my way, so to speak.
Can you point me to "the road less traveled"?
My thoughts would be to mark the partition you wish to use as swap as
"Do not use" in the installer.
This is my routine ever since discovering the Debian installer's rudeness.
Then, on the first boot, add the partition manually to /etc/fstab:
UUID=... none swap sw 0 0
As my swaps always have a label set, I use it, and not UUID=. UUIDs weren't made
for humans.
