Suspend still works on 1G swap, at least for me.
Hibernate is more complicated: some of the newest laptop chipsets don't
seem to hibernate in the same way as older models.
If you wanted to hibernate fully on some models with smaller amounts of
disk - eg the Chromebooks with 32G or 64G mmc - that would be much harder
too.
You should get the opportunity to check partitioning even on the standard
install and you can then switch to manual partitioning to do this.
The partitioning step comes well before software is installed to the disk.
All the very best, as ever,
