How large is /dev/hda3? And you have to get diskdruid to set its partition 
type as Linux-swap. You can continue without a swap partition but this may 
cause problems later. However, if you still have some space set aside 
(/dev/hda3) then you can always set it up later once you're installed and 
running. We'll show you how. Provided we manage to stay on topic :-)
