1. Get hold of the recent 6.06.1 update of the liveCD, will save
   you a lot of upgrades.

2. 2.55GB swap is excessive, especially in view of 2.77GB root. Even the
combined 5.20GB is already a bit lowish if you plan on downloading
multimedia stuff. Let the installer automatically use a chunk of
contiguous unallocated disk space instead.
