Subject: [Bug 52147] Re: Dapper/Kubuntu 6.06 Install from Live CD fails
whentarget drive has a SWAP partition defined


I found that the installer turns the swap off so on systems with little
memory like my 400 MHz grape iMac with 128 Mb RAM the installer freezes
since Linux is unable to uncompress pages from the squashfs fast enough.
I workarounded this by creating my own swap partition which is then
automatically used by the installer the next time. The trick to stop the
installer to turn of the swap is to inhibit the swapoff command. I did
it like this:

sudo cp /bin/true /sbin/swapoff

The installer will create another swap partition but that is the price
for this workaround until the installer i clever enough not turn the
swap off for low end machines...
