I install this distribution in my PC, but he need a swap space.

My PC have 2 SCSI hard disck, and there are no partiton in any because I
think taht de suse isntallation wil create it.

How I create the partition disk in SUse 9.2 in the isntallation procedure?

One of the configuration screens at installation times allows you the option
to change your partitiioning. I know it's there, I played with it last week.
You can instead allow it to auto-generate partitions, and it will try and
guess at values for your use, but for two drives they won't make much sense.

How big are the drives? Do you need to do RAID of any sort to mirror the
drives, or will you just be using one for home directories, or what?

You could use a swap file instead of a partition.
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=256 of=/var/swap
mkswap /var/swap
swapon /var/swap

The message show before the windows you say.
Is in the prior task.
The suse need more than 128 MBytes of RAM.I only have 128 MBYtes of RAM and
teh 2 SCSI devices are not formated in any format.

I put one disk (with ghost utility) in two parts, one ext3 and one in swap
format. But I not formated this two partitions.
The other disk is ext3 but is not formated.

Then I would install suse 9.2 but this distro need's swap space (because my
pc only have 128 RAM)

Use mkswap to format the swap partition, mke2fs -j to format the ext3
partition, and add them to /etc/fstab.
