Read the post. From version 3.3 on, Knoppix auto-detects and uses Linux Swap partitions if found. No key presses. If you want to alter the disk, as I said, you have to use "noswap" so that Knoppix runs without a swap file. If you have anything mounted on the drive, you can't repartition w/ qtparted or parted.

True, but you have to "press keys" to use the available swap partition or to create a swap file.

So to use it as a real rescue disk, you have to use the "noswap" KNOPPIX cheat code at the boot prompt.
