You can place the swap file in any path you want:

SWAPPATH=path minfree initial

be sure to delete the previous swap file after rebooting after you changed the 
swappath statement with a new path

the initial number is the initial size of the swap file on boottime

the swap file can grow, but when the free disk space on the partition with the 
swap file gets less then the minfree number (in kilobytes) the system warns
you

look in the online command reference, it contains explanation for swappath and 
other commands and statements

IIRC: Selective Install (this setup dialog for the hardware and the software
is used during the first installation), push the "Next" button until you come
on the page with the optional components to install (like fonts, optional
system utilities, bonuspak, etc - this page is larger than the previous ones)
at the top of this page the main menu line reads "Options", "Software
Configuration", "Help". Under "Software Configuration", choose "Change OS/2
parameters" and if I remember correctly, the page you get at that point is the 
page where you can fill in such things (I can't do that myself because the
"Change OS/2 parameters" option is greyed out here), what's put in here will
be placed in the config.sys. If I want to change something in config.sys, I
load config.sys in a text editor and I do the change myself. :)
