You can choice now the "e)" option (euristic swap): I always use this
option. The routine, very smart, try do find dynamically a swape-space.
Example of internal logic:

        1) there is a true Linux-swap partition? if yes, this partition
           is signed really as linux-swap? If yes, use it! -return
        2) I'm UMSDOS? If yes, swap in a file in the UMSDOS -return

        and so on.

The installer use an own file in the DOS and forget to remove it.
Please, remove by hand. The problem will be fixed.

No, no: please send detailed corrections or, if you like, any amended
