grml 1.0 hasn't installed yet

[Albert E. Sten-Clanton]

If memory serves, GRML didn't care whether you had a swap partition or not, but might find it if you did have one.  I thought the default using grml2hd was to install on one partition (I always used /dev/hda1) and use a swap file.

Hope that's useful.
