I have never tried this. It is very possible that the installer cannot
work without creating a separate swap partition.

What you might try is using 2 disks.

Install normally on to one disk, then copy the installation over to
the disk that you really want to use, remove the swap partition
from the fstab, and create the swapfiles you want to use.
