I am doing a hd install of DSL. I have a completely empty hd. Should I put the swap partition at the beginning or the end of the free space?

Depends on several things...are you low on memory, so you are swapping? What sort of services will you be running?

I normally put my /boot first, then swap (so I guess I do it at the beginning, although it's not really for speed) and the / followed by any others.
