See my previous post, I think we are talking about 2 different things.
The installer asking to turn on swap is normal. The 0.7.1 updates allow 
you to do it manually _before_ the disks are partitioned. (provided the 
partitions already exist.) Another possibility, and I have not tried, is 
you may be able to run fdisk, mke2fs, and mkswap from VT2 as soon as the 
updates are read in. 
The 0.7.1 fset.py file is a brutal hack, applying a sledgehammer to the 
anaconda error checking.

But, it may help. ;)
