Not that I'm aware of.
Why (and how) should I do that?
By the way:
as the Installer with deinstall option didn't allow for ignoring the
"failure", I just removed both the Oracle Home and the Inventory
directories. After that I started a fresh install. Unlike the first install,
I again was faced with the "zero swapspace available" message, but now I was
able to just ignore the message and the install just finished without
further problems.
Weird...
(Still would be interested though why I should run the Installer in 32-bit
emulation)
