At the partition step:

1. If you've got X GB of space & 4 GB of RAM, reduce it to (X-4) GB and
select '/' in the "Mount as" drop-down menu
2. Now choose that 4 GB (newly appearing) space and choose 'Swap' in the
'Partition Type/Mount as' drop-down  {whichever that holds this option, I
don't remember exactly}

This would do the thing!!
