* You had to manually partition the disk and setup swap space before you could even launch the installer.*
As of my last install of Slackware 14.1 you still have to do this.
Slackware is a wonderful distribution and keeps most important packages pretty close to up to date but Patrick seems to very much be a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" kind of developer.
