Installation help

[Homer Pope]

Hello,
I am a newbie attempting my first installation of linux. I would like to 
install it on my second HD which has 20gb free space.
I created 2 partitions a 500mb and 20GB, but when it attempted to install 
the additional packages it failed. Then a couple of other steps failed.
Was this bc I didnt designate one of then as the swap partition? If so how 
do I do this? Or did I do something else wrong?
Thanks
homer
