Can Linux installs share a swap partition?

[MrNewbie]

I recently discovered the Linux From Scratch site and decided to give it a go, I've created a partition for it, but do I need to create another swap partition? Can't I share one? I'll be using my preexisting linux install Debian 2.1 as the base, would that make a problem by not being able to assign the swap to the linux from scratch because its being used at that time by the debian base?
Thank You

Yup, you can share swap partition(s). And no, you won't have troubles because both won't be running at the same time.

Enjoy your LFS - it taught me tons!

No problem at all. Just add the appropriate fstab entries.
