with cfdisk I make the partition for swap primary and change
the type to Linux swap. Then from the shell do
---------------
mkswap /dev/xxx
---------------
xxx is the partition you make Linux swap, mine is /dev/hda3
and to activate the swap space
---------------
swapon /dev/xxx
---------------
If you want activate your swap space every time you boot,
read the FAQ from BL web page

Sorry I can't help you with the other two questions

And thanks to Greg I have lilo.tgz from Slacware 7, and I'll
be trying this later
