* 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. My first Slackware was 2.1 or 2.2 (just remember if was 1995) and other than the fact I used an ISO image of 14.1 instead of 10's of floppies the install is very much the same after all these years.
