From Knoppix 3.1 or 3.3, it will search for a Linux Swap partition and use it if available. Current version is 3.6. You can also specify "knoppix noswap" at boot in case you want to repartition or format the HDD in the PC.

I've booted Knoppix on my laptop which only has 96MB RAM. I didn't touch any keys to do this. Now to be fair there is a swap partition on the drive and it may have seen this and used it. In fact the creators would be foolish not to look for and use it.
