i miss the option to select the swap partition when installing grml to harddisk. when there is a preformatted swap partition then the auto-fstab-mechanism will surely detect that but when there is not, you have to mkswap manually afterwards. that is a little bit uncomfortable.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. grml2hd has never had a "select a swap-partition"-dialog. :)

Starting with grml 0.9 we do *not* activate swap partitions by default anymore because otherwise it usually causes more headache than benefit. So what you seem to search:

If you want to enable present swap partition(s) you can boot grml with the 'swap' bootoption or if you forgot to use the option just use the command 'grml-swapon' later on (or mkswap of course if you don't want/need grml-swapon's behaviour). Then the behaviour should work for you as intented. The harddisc installation uses the normal Debian mechanism and uses all the swap partitions defined in /etc/fstab. If your fstab isn't up2date just run 'grml-rebuildfstab' if you disabled the automatic fstab handling.

Is this what you meant and searched for?
