Uh, are you using root-be 0.01, or 0.03? I believe 0.03 has mkswap in it,
but 0.01 does not.
What happened when you tried to run the installer?
You probably don't need mkswap at this point anyway, since there really
aren't that many applications in root-be that will chew up that much
space. The goal should be to put root-be on your filesystem, and from
there install all the RPMS (which contain mkswap in util-linux).
