You can copy the fset.py file from the 0.7.1 updates, and put it on your 
0.7.2 updates disk, and it should work fine.

All it really does is prevent the installer from exiting when it can't 
enable swap. Which, since it is already enabled in your case, is to be 
expected.

I'm currently working on a new version of miniconda. It should be ready 
for testing sometime tomorrow night.

You might actually have some success trying the fset.py hack. It prevents 
the installer shutting down, and tells it to just continue as if nothing 
had gone wrong. It might work. It won't be pretty, but it might work. :)

Before enabling swap, you should be able to run fdisk from vt2, and make 
all your partitions. You can then turn on swap, and go back to vt1 and 
fight with the installer to skip partitioning.
